How to get Instagram Top Nine

It’s that time of year where you will see your friends and family sharing the year they’ve had and enjoyed.

‘Top Nine’ started trending on Instagram a few years ago and allows you to make a collage of your nine most liked photos of the year.

There are two easy ways you can get your #TopNine, either via installing a third-party app or using the website.

The app remains very popular but if you do not want to install anything more on your phone, it is just as easy to do it on the website.

The app can be downloaded from the Google Play store or the official App Store.

Whichever you use, always check the reviews before installing the app as there have been some clone apps that look to mimic ‘Top Nine’.

App or website the process is the same.

You will have to type in your Instagram username, and email address.

Usually, you will receive an email within the hour, but that may take a little longer given how many users are doing the same today.

Once you receive it, you can either share it to your social media platforms directly or download it to your device.

How to get rid of the watermark

If you have used ‘Top Nine’ before you will know just how frustrating it can be to see a watermark on your collage.

Well, great news, there isn’t going to be that problem this year as they have introduced some free templates.

As ever, there are more templates available on the app than you will find on the website.

You may well see more advertising than before, but it is totally worth it to not have to try and remove the watermark like previous years gone by.

How to do an Instagram recap reel

Instagram is offering a new option this year, a reels template for users to create their 2022 recap to share with friends.

The process could not be easier:

Create a reel

There are plenty of ways to do this but one of the easier options is to click the reels button in the middle of the bottom of the home screen, between the search and shopping buttons.

Then click the photo button at the top right of the screen.

Choose your template

Once creating a reel, swipe right on the bottom of your screen.

This will bring you to the templates, there are four to choose from: artist and producer Bad Bunny, DJ & producer DJ Khaled, rapper and producer Badshah, or Stranger Things star Priah Ferguson.

Create your 2022 recap reel

Once you have chosen the template you want, you will replace the clips with ones from your own library.

The easiest way to do this if you are looking post videos instead of photos, is to click the arrow next to “recents” while you choose your images and choose “videos”.

This will reduce your options to just videos.

Post your reel

Once you have selected all of your pictures and videos, it will be automatically edited into a 2022 recap.

You can edit the cover or add a little message but once you have selected all of your videos, it is time to share your reel.

It’s as easy as that.
