INSTAGRAM fans will know that the approach of the New Year means the return of the cult Top Nine.

It’s a collage of your top nine Instagram posts from the past year, and has become something of a tradition – here’s how to find yours.

Here’s how you can find your Top 9 on Instagram

  • Head to Top Nine – you can use their desktop version, or the app which is available on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
  • If your account is private however, you’ll need to use the app.
  • Next enter your Instagram handle (your @) and your email address into the box.
  • This is where the fun starts! Top Nine starts generating your collage – and they’ll email you once its ready.
  • Enjoy!

Just be aware when creating your collage that the apps are flooded with users checking their end of year stats, so some might take a while.

If you use Top Nine, they’ll also offer you an option to see your average likes per post, and also to create a video of your collage – but you’ll have to pay for that.

All that’s left is to get sharing.
