I heard from some people that stretching and fixing posture can increase height.
Is this true? If so, how much height?
My posture is already pretty good except for slouched shoulders.

How do you slouch shoulders? It's better than that boxed-up shoulder anxious hipster look

stretching might decompress your spine to some extent but it won't do that much tbh.

fixing your posture will make you taller, although it doesn't *really* make you taller you because you had that height to begin with

If by some people you mean your mom she is wrong

It's a placebo thing you tell 16-18 year olds in hope they will grow another inch or two

I remembered the posture part from some post on here long ago from a guy who claimed his doctor told him he could be 2" taller if he fixed his posture.
The stretching bit I just read online from people who claimed to have gained 1-2 inches from it in their early twenties.. But I figured that was simply late growth.

Maybe slouch isn't the correct word, my English isn't very good and I don't know how to describe it. I just let my shoulders hang forward a bit.

Parachuting out of airplanes regularly and hitting the ground will make you shorter
