Stories started with Snapchat, then Instagram and Facebook added their own versions to try and win our loyalty. 。 There are crazy amounts of ways to make your story unique within each app. But you might not know that you can also post old photos in your current stories.。 SEE ALSO:I'm giving up on Snapchat because it's way too bloated 。Here's how to put photos you've already taken in your stories on Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. Just note that your followers might get a little annoyed if you do it too much. 。 Snapchat 。  Snapchat 。Access Snapchat and camera roll photos at the bottom of your screen.Credit: molly sequin/mashable 。    Open up Snapchat and you'll see a little bubble on your screen directly underneath the circle button to snap a new photo. Click that and you'll see a screen with photos you've saved on Snapchat and from your camera roll. 。Hit "Edit and Send" (which is covered by this caption) to jazz up your photo.Credit: molly sequin/mashable。  Scroll through either feed until you find the old photo you want to post.

This will bring up all of the editing options you normally see on Snapchat. 。Photos from your camera roll appear with a white border around them.Credit: molly sequin/mashable。 When it's all ready to roll, click the blue arrow button to send to your story or any of your friends. It's worth noting that photos pulled from Snapchat will look normal, but the ones taken from your camera roll will appear with a white border and say they're from your camera roll. In other words, people will be well aware of the fact that you're posting an old photo. If that doesn't bother you, everything's good to go. 。Mashable Light SpeedWant more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?Mashable Light SpeedWant more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?Sign up for Mashable's weekly Light Speed newsletter.

。  Instagram 。Instagram works somewhat similarly. However, you can only post photos that you've saved to your camera roll in the last 24 hours. So, if you want to post a photo from last week you're going to have to re-save it. 。  Add photos from your camera roll to your Instagram story.Credit: molly sequin/mashable 。To get started, hit the camera button in the upper lefthand of the app or just hit your face icon by the rest of the stories. Choose the box next to the flash icon on the screen to see your photos. 。 Camera roll photos get cropped in your story.Credit: molly sequin/mashable 。Pick a photo and it'll appear on your screen, ready to be edited. A slight downfall is that you don't have a say in how it's displayed. The photo will fit to the screen, so parts of it might get cut off. In the example used above, Instagram cut off a fourth person that was standing to the left of me. However, you can still edit it just like any other Instagram story. Do that and hit "Your Story" and it'll show up in your story for the next 24 hours. 。  Facebook 。Facebook 。  Once again, Facebook is similar to the other two, with slight differences.。Add old photos to your Facebook story.Credit: molly sequin/mashable 。 Hit your icon at the top of your Facebook mobile app to create a story. Then tap the little square button on the far right of the screen. It will bring photos from your camera roll to the bottom of the screen so you can scroll through to find the one you want.。
