How To Utilize Instagram Stories For Your Business

Instagram announced last March 29 that there will be full screen support for ads in Instagram Stories. How does it work? Simply put, when you upload a photo or video that within the aspect ratio of Instagram, it will automatically issue full screen support in Instagram Stories.

The latest update will automatically choose a background gradient suitable for your ads. In fact, it also uses swipe up capabilities that allow advertisers to add a destination link ad to the Story. You can learn more about it here.
