Put the writings that move on Instagram from the app

In case you are not aware, Instagram offers animated writings that you can apply directly to the stories being published: just use the most updated version of the official app. In case the available writings do not satisfy you, know that it is possible to use third-party applications that also allow you to have animated writings on Instagram, even if with slightly different results. Read on to find out all the details.

Official function

To put the animated writings on Instagram through the official application of the social network, the first thing you need to do is open Instagram and press on the thumbnail called Your story, located at the top of the screen, on the left.

At this point you need to create a story. You have three options to do this: the first is to take a photo on the spot, which you can do by pressing the circle icon located in the center of the screen. You can also change the camera to be used to take a photo, simply by pressing on the camera icon, located at the bottom of the screen, on the right.

The second option is to choose a photo from the Gallery. To do this, just press on the square icon, located in the lower part of the screen, on the left. Later, if you have taken a photo at the moment and chosen to use one already present in the Gallery, you can access the Instagram text editor by pressing on the icon of the two Aa located at the top of the screen, on the right.

The third option available to you is to directly create a story with only writings. If that’s what you want to do, you have to press on the two Aa icon and you will be immediately taken to the text editor.

Once you have arrived at the text editor, what you have to do to have the animated writings is to press on the icon of the A with two dashes. The last step to follow, therefore, is to choose one of the writings that you find above the keyboard (each font corresponds to a different animation). To select one, simply press on its thumbnail.

Now all you have to do is type in the text you want to make up your story and you will see that the animation you have chosen will be applied to it.

Now that you’ve chosen your favorite animated text, it’s time to publish the story. First, then, press the Send to button at the bottom left of the screen. At this point, press on one of the Share buttons, depending on the visibility you want your story to have. That’s all: now your story with animated text is uploaded to your profile. Easy, right?

The only flaw of the animated writings offered by Instagram is that, at the moment, there are only a few variants and each has its own default font. Using the application’s animated lettering, therefore, you have very little variety of choice.

Third party apps

If you want to have more types of animated writings available, you must resort to the use of third-party applications.

In this regard, I recommend that you use Adobe Spark Post, one of the best applications for creating content on social networks. The application is available on both Android and iPhone / iPad. It’s free, but it also offers paid content: at a cost of € 10.99 per month or € 109.99 per year you can get various benefits, including additional templates, the ability to remove the Adobe Spark watermark, and the ability to add a logo.

If you have an Android device, you can download Spark Post through the official application page on the Play Store (or on an alternative store, if your device does not have the Play Store) by pressing the Install button; if you have an iPhone or iPad, you can download it from the official App Store page by pressing the Get / Install button and verifying your identity via Face ID, Touch ID or Apple ID password (if required).

When you have downloaded the application, therefore, the first thing you need to do is create an account to use it. Then click on the Register for free button and fill in the required fields, namely Name, Surname, E-mail address, Password and Date of birth. Once this is done, click on the Register Me button.

Now, to start creating a post, press on the + icon and choose a background: you can choose between an image chosen by the application, simply by clicking on the Free Photos tab, or an image taken from your Gallery, via the Gallery tab. Finally, you can also choose to use a solid color background by pressing on the Solid Color tab. When you have decided which wallpaper to use, click on the Next button.

Now that you have chosen the background, you need to decide the size you want to give the story on Instagram. To do this, you simply have to press on one of the thumbnails that are proposed to you. When you have decided, you have to press the END button.

You are now ready to create animated text. First, then, double-tap on the writing you see on your screen and type the text you want to appear in the story. When you are done, press the √ icon.

From here, you can also change various text settings, including the writing font, color, and size.

To change the font, press on the FONT tab, in order to view all the available ones. At this point, select the one that suits you best by simply pressing on its thumbnail.

If, on the other hand, you want to change the color of the text, you have to press the COLOR tab and then the Text button. Then choose the one you prefer by clicking on the appropriate box.

Finally, to change the size of the text, press on the FORMAT tab and drag the slider to the right or left, depending on your preferences. When you have finished making changes to the text, you just have to press the END key.

To animate the writing you see on your screen, press the Animation button. From here, you can see all the animations available that you can apply to the text. To select one, just press on its thumbnail and you will be able to immediately preview it on your screen.

When you are satisfied with your choice, remove the watermark if possible (by touching it with your finger and pressing on Remove logo/watermark from this project ) and press the END key.

Now that the story is ready to be published, you have to press on the share icon, located at the top of the screen, on the right. In the screen that appears, press the Video button and then simply press the Stories button. By doing so, you will be redirected directly to the posting page of the stories on Instagram.

The last thing you have to do, therefore, is to press the Send to button and then press one of the Share buttons, depending on the visibility you want your story to have. Once this is done, your story with animated text will be published on your profile in the form of a video. Seen? Nothing simpler!

Put the writings that move on Instagram on PC

Are you looking to put animated writings on your Instagram stories via your PC? Unfortunately I must tell you that, at least for the moment, it is not possible, as the desktop version of Instagram does not yet offer the possibility to create stories.

Alternatively, however, you can think of using an Android emulator, so you can have the mobile version of Instagram also on your PC and use it to post stories (although not very convenient as a solution!). In this regard, I recommend that you rely on BlueStacks, one of the best Android emulators on the market. In case you don’t know how to download it, I’ll leave you to my guide, where I’ll explain how to download BlueStacks.

Once you have downloaded BlueStacks and set it up with your Google account, you need to install Instagram on the emulator. To do this, press the Google Play button, located at the bottom of the screen, on the left. At this point, in the search bar, type Instagram and then press Enter.

Then click on the Install button and when the app installation is finished, press the Open button to start it.

Now you need to login to your Instagram account. To do this, you need to press the Login button and then fill in the required fields, namely Username and Password. Once this is done, click on the Login button.

As you can see, now that the mobile version of Instagram is installed on your PC, you can use the application exactly as you would use it on a mobile. For this reason, to put animated writings on Instagram on PC, you can follow the same procedures that I explained to you in one of the previous chapters.
