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.
