Hey i have an iphone 12 and the 2 trick is not working for me. Just cant get the repost to top of the screen. Doing two fingers+thumb is just resizing the added image, not bringing the post on top. Any help?

[@BarbeiJessi]

@@bhavya.chaudhary ich habe das selbe Problem 😔

[@lordofeast]

I’d still prefer the second one. But it no longer works this time

[@tiannagabriel1892]

Was just about to comment the second one doesn’t work anymore

[@SafeShifter]

@@tiannagabriel1892 what a shame :/

[@adilakshminandakumar3639]

Can we able to do that in old version?

[@ccubanecc]

Second one doesnt work, anyone knows why?

[@rosiesanaa]

It does work…I literally just did it. Long press the link while keeping 2 fingers on your background. Takes finesse but it can be done.

[@dxrari]

UPDATED SECOND CHOICE (even with video) You take the subject you want to be the top layer and make it as as even as possible in the middle (leaving space on the top & bottom but touching the left & right of ur screen perfectly) Then, import & take the background image and tap it until u get the Story Sized image (u go thru options like star, heart, square) size it to the full story perfectly how u wish. The start tapping it again until you get the star shape ( it gives you tapping room to then bring the subject on top of the background) IMPORTANT; since the subject got moved to the front of ur background you have to then shrink by using two fingers so u can move it around over your background. AVOID touching the background tho. If you do it by accident it will send your desired subject back but u can just repeat the process until u hit the star.

The second option was the easiest (the finger trick) been using it a lot, but I guess it stopped working after the latest update? Anyone here who experienced the same thing? 😭

[@sheilaamrimanoppo6295]

[@ajheventure100]

[@zaklatif]

Same is there still a way?

[@paolaescamilla8960]

The finger one stopped working with one of these updates. So sad to hear because this is my favorite picture. Is anyone having issue with adding music to stories and it making it a bad quality?

[@ieonedust7569]

I thought was the only one having this issue ! Definitely was one of the recent updates :( The music thing I think it has always been that way, makes the photo look in a lower quality

[@sheikhhilal8256]

I know right :( the second one stopped working just recently.

[@zaklatif]

Has anyone found a solution?

[@alishakhan2790]

Hello my friend repost 2 posts on stories at 1 story !! Is it possible!! But how?
