Instagram has introduced several new creative options to enhance user experience and content creation. These updates include:
New Creative Tools

- Text and Stickers for Photos and Carousels: Users can add text and layer images via stickers to their photos and carousel posts. This feature includes the newest fonts and allows for creative flexibility in storytelling.
- Expanded Carousel Posts: The limit for carousel posts has been increased to 20 photos and videos, providing more creative possibilities to capture moments and vibes.
How to Use the New Features
- Text Tool: Tap the text button after selecting a photo from your gallery to add text. Additional images can be layered by tapping the gallery button in the top right corner. Stickers can be customized into various shapes such as rectangles, squares, circles, hearts, or stars.
- Creating Longer Carousels: To create a longer carousel, click on Post and select up to 20 photos and videos.
