From sharing photos and videos, exploring and watching new content to posting Instagram stories daily, this social media platform has something for everyone regardless of your preference.

We included this app in our article on five useful apps every lady should have in her phone for a reason! "Nichi" comes from the pronunciation of the Japanese word "日", which carries the expectation of helping you record your daily life, making this perfect for your daily Instagram stories.

What we love about Nichi is that new templates are uploaded into the app every month. That means you will never have to use the same template for your photos and stories. Choose to add in different stickers, filters, backgrounds and fonts to create something uniquely yours. We also really appreciate the fact that the templates are not childish-looking and are actually aesthetically pleasing.

If you prefer a minimalistic and elegant design for your Instagram stories, Unfold is the app to download. The good thing about this app is how it supports both photos and videos so you will get to collage a photo and a video in one story.

There are some free as well as premium templates (where you will have to pay) but we find the free ones good enough, especially if you like keeping your Instagram stories simple with slight edits. Choose from film frames or ripped paper to decorate your photos and you can even write captions on the templates.

Canva is easy to use and has thousands of pre-made templates for you to slowly make your pick. You get to choose the font, colour, background and stickers too! Some templates require you to pay but honestly, the free ones are more than enough for you to spruce up your usual Instagram stories.

When you download Canva, you will be getting so much more than just templates for Instagram stories. The app also offers templates for posters, invitations, infographics, business cards and many more. You will find designing things way more fun with this app.
