Instagram is enhancing user experience for year-end celebrations with new features aimed at sharing memories from 2024. Key additions include the Collage feature for Stories, allowing users to compile favorite photos into a stylish post, and custom Add Yours templates themed for the New Year, facilitating engagement among friends.
To amplify the festive spirit, Instagram introduces a "New Year" font and a "Countdown" text effect for Stories, Reels, and Feed posts. Additionally, holiday-themed chat themes for DMs, such as "Mariah Carey," "New Years," and "Chill," are being rolled out to personalize conversations. Users can also discover hidden animations by typing secret phrases like "happy New Year" in Notes and DMs.
These features are part of Instagram's ongoing efforts to provide tools for creative expression during holidays. Available for a limited time, they encourage users to share their celebrations and memories. The excitement around the Collage feature and holiday chat themes reflects a desire for connection during the festive season.
