The most notable among these features is “Reveal Stickers” which allows users to blur out a portion of their story post. Viewers must send a direct message to the poster to unveil the obscured content fostering engagement between users and their followers. Using this feature is simple while creating a story, users can click on stickers and select the “Reveal” option.
Another exciting addition is the “Cutout” feature enabling users to overlay their images or videos with custom stickers in both Reels and Stories.
The third feature “Add Your Music” empowers users to share songs in sticker form within their stories, enhancing the auditory experience for their followers. This feature is sticker-based integrating seamlessly into the storytelling process.
Lastly, users can now transform their images into virtual Polaroid pictures through the “Frames” feature. This addition not only encourages users to share older posts but also adds a nostalgic touch with the inclusion of a timestamp.
These new features are in line with Instagram’s commitment to fostering creativity and connection among its user base. By providing tools that enable users to share their stories in unique ways, Instagram continues to solidify its position as a leading social media platform for visual storytelling.
It’s evident that the primary goal of these features particularly “Frames” is to encourage the sharing of older posts while adding a timestamp for context. With these new additions, Instagram users can look forward to even more engaging and dynamic storytelling experiences on the platform.
