You can do it the slow way by highlighting each letter and changing the colors that way. But this is the easiest and quickest way to do it. It’s a little hard to explain so I made this GIF:

As you see in the video, I pull up the photo into IG Story and then I write out text. I highlight it, and then here is the key part (which you can’t see me doing but is important), I use both of my thumbs at the same time. One thumb holds down the bottom blue dot of the cursor that is highlighting the text and the other thumb presses onto the purple color and holds it down until the color wheel appears. Then I drag both thumbs at the same time across from right to left.
