Yahoo News Instagram top 9 2018: how to find your best posts of the year
Collages on Instagram are so 2015. That is, unless it’s the Instagram best 9 collage.
Between the start of December and New Year's Eve, Instagram feeds all over the world will be full of people sharing their own best nine collages.
The app, Top Nine, uses data from your personal Instagram profile to pull through the posts that received the most likes and collates the top nine into an image for you.
You can then download the post and share it again on Instagram for more likes or leave it languishing in your iCloud folder.
Here’s how to do your best 9 on Instagram
Go to Top Nine, either the desktop version of the app. If your Instagram account is private, then you need to use the app.
Enter your Instagram handle and your email address and get generating.
Top Nine will email you when your collage is ready. Simply download the image and get sharing.
After the image has been downloaded, you can ask Top Nine to delete your email and all the data associated with it.
Sharing the Instagram best 9 has become somewhat of an internet tradition over the past few years. Like with all the best traditions, no one is sure when it really started or where it came from, but it is now a necessary stalwart of December and over two million people have already used Top Nine in 2018.
The Instagram best nine feature is a nice way to look back and remember the things you’ve been up to, like the millennial equivalent of a photo album.
In fact, if you want some tangible evidence of 2018, Top Nine allows you to select some of your favourite Instagram images to be printed on products, including a phone case, pillow or a tote bag. You can access this in the app.
Alternatively, if you are a Google Photos user, Google now has a Photo Book feature to make it easier to create photo albums straight from your photo collections.
Google’s AI can suggest albums from all the stored photos, such as weekends away or holidays, and collects the images together to make it even easier to collect and flip through the memories.
