Fun story ideas with a twist
Fun templates are for the stories that don’t need a reason – a selfie in a neon light, a throwback, a cute portrait with stars around it. Most are made for one photo, so a single good shot is all you need.
- Neon and cyberpunk. Neon Future, Neon Helmet, Neon Triangle and Neon City (1 photo each) give a night photo a futuristic, synthwave glow. Neon Streets puts two city-at-night photos together.
- Pastel and cute. Lilac Lollipop, Pastel Candy Dream and Pastel Brush Strokes frame one portrait in soft colours, candy and confetti. Lilac Stars fits three photos among stars and clouds, and Cloud Nine spreads four photos across a dreamy blue sky.
- Retro. Retro Sunburst has a seventies, good-vibes look for one photo, and Cassette turns a photo into a tape – perfect with the name of a song.
- Comparisons. Then & Now and Diagonal (2 photos each) are made for before and after: a childhood photo and today, a room before and after, the first day and the last.
- New post teasers. New Post Alert (1 photo) and Pink Checker Post (2 photos) tell your followers there is something new on your profile.
How to make a fun story
- Pick 1–4 photos in Allapulla.
- Open Fun; only templates for that photo count are shown.
- Choose one – the photos drop into the frames automatically. Move or zoom them to fit.
- Change the text to your own and share to Instagram Stories or WhatsApp, or save it.
Ideas to try
- A school photo next to a recent one in Then & Now.
- Cassette with the song of the week as the text.
- A Friday night selfie in Neon City.
- A feed teaser: crop the new post into New Post Alert.
Tips
- Neon templates look best with darker night photos; pastel ones with bright daylight shots.
- Keep faces and text in the middle – Instagram covers the top and bottom. See the story size guide.
