Instagram Stories Adds New Stickers, Including Frames, Reveal, and More

Users can now utilize a ton of new interactive sticker options on Instagram Stories. In addition to uploading an image, video, or reel, Instagram Stories is a well-liked method for content sharing.

In addition to combining features from each of these possibilities, users can post text, photos, or video tales. Users are said to be able to express themselves more creatively with the new stickers.

Among the many features is the ability for users to create stickers from pre-existing photographs in their albums to use on their Instagram stories.

In a blog post, Meta has confirmed the new line of interactive stickers for Instagram Stories. The Reveal sticker is one of the most creative additions; it blurs the information of the Story, thus “hiding” it.

Viewers will need to DM the poster in order to see the entire narrative. The poster’s consent is not required. The viewer will be able to see the entire contents of the Story once the DM is sent to the individual who posted it with the Reveal sticker.

Additionally, the company is releasing a new contribute Yours Music sticker that allows poster’s Instagram followers to contribute their own music. It functions similarly to the Reel sticker or Add Yours images. Clicking on the sticker allows viewers of the tale to publish a narrative with the same sticker along with their own photos and music.

Also, Instagram Stories will soon provide a Frames sticker that instantly creates a Polaroid-like print from any photo. As implied by the name, users may create stickers for Instagram Stories that feature cutouts from various photographs by selecting the Cutouts sticker option.

Meanwhile, Instagram has also updated its iOS app with a new feature that makes clicking and posting Stories easier. Now, iOS users can add a new lock screen widget that launches the Story Camera straight away. This way, users may snap a photo or record a video and share it as a Story without ever opening the Instagram app.

Instagram will test features that hide messages containing nude imagery, according to a recent confirmation from Meta, in an effort to safeguard young users and “prevent potential scammers from reaching them.” This announcement was made in response to mounting claims that the Meta-owned apps were addictive and had exacerbated youth mental health problems.
