App Navigation

Written by Anastasia

When you open the Instories app, you’ll find yourself on the Explore page. This is where we’ve gathered the most popular tools and template collections.

Side Menu

In the top-left corner, you’ll find the side menu button. Inside this menu, you can:

  • View your subscription details in My Account / My Subscription

  • Contact our team through Support

  • See our latest updates in What’s new?

  • Rate the app in Rate us

  • Restore your subscription if the app doesn’t recognize it, using Restore Purchases (iOS only). The restore starts right away: if it’s successful, My Subscription opens; if no purchases are found, you’ll see a message about it

  • Invite your friends in Referral

  • Free up storage on your device with Clear cache

  • Read our Terms of Use

  • Review our Privacy Policy

  • Check the installed app version at the very bottom

  • And follow our Fabulous Instagram

Top Menu

  • Bookmarks — All the templates you’ve added to your favorites

  • Search — Quickly find templates on any topic. The search bar is at the top of the Explore, AI Trends, Templates, and Projects tabs

👉 Please note that we sometimes update parts of the app and run experiments. During these updates, the appearance of some tabs or sections may change. If you cannot find what you need, feel free to contact our support team. We are always happy to help!

Bottom Menu

Nice and simple — just five buttons 😉

  • Explore — Instories' most popular tools and template collections

  • AI Trends — Instories’ AI tools and trendy AI templates. Tap + Type your idea to describe what you want to create, and the AI assistant will suggest the right tool

  • Create — The + button in the middle of the panel. Create a project from scratch

  • Templates — Return to all template collections anytime

  • Projects — All your saved projects in one place

The bottom panel floats over the content: when you scroll down, it shrinks to icons, and it expands again when you scroll back. The panel always stays dark, even in the light theme.

In some of the older versions of the app, your bottom menu may only have three buttons:

  • Templates — Return to all template collections anytime

  • + — Create a project from scratch

  • Projects — All your saved projects in one place

👉 Please note that we sometimes update parts of the app and run experiments. During these updates, the appearance of some tabs or sections may change. If you cannot find what you need, feel free to contact our support team. We are always happy to help!

👉 Please note that the interface may look a little different on iOS and Android. With that said, we’re working on making it consistent across both platforms as soon as possible.
