Instagram Stories Now Offers New Stickers for Enhanced Connectivity

The Add Yours Music sticker on Instagram Stories is a new feature that combines the existing Add Yours feature with the music sticker. It allows users to share a song that reflects their mood and enables their followers to add their own music selections to the story. Here's how to use it:

1. Tap the stickers icon in the Instagram Stories editor.
2. Select the Add Yours Music sticker.
3. Tap on + / Add Music to choose a song from Instagram's music library.
4. Post your story, and then your friends can add their song by using the Add Yours button.

To use the Frames sticker in Instagram Stories, which turns your photo into an instant print, follow these steps:

1. In the story creation mode, tap the stickers icon.
2. Choose the Frames sticker.
3. This will open your photo gallery to select an image to frame.
4. Optionally, add a caption. The date and timestamp will be added automatically.
5. After posting, viewers can shake their phone or tap the shake to reveal button to see the framed image.

The Reveal sticker on Instagram Stories allows you to post a hidden story that can only be uncovered by your friends and followers when they send you a DM. Here's the process:

1. While creating a story, tap the stickers icon.
2. Select the Reveal sticker.
3. Type a hint about the content behind your blurred story.
4. Use the Preview icon to see how it will appear to others.
5. Once posted, the content remains hidden until a viewer sends you a DM, which automatically reveals the story without needing your approval for each DM.

To create and use Cutouts stickers on Instagram, which turn parts of your photos or videos into custom stickers, follow these instructions:

• From your camera roll:

  1. Tap the stickers icon, then the scissors icon labeled Cutouts.
  2. Select a photo or video with a clear subject from your gallery.
  3. An automatic sticker is generated, or you can manually select the object for your sticker.
  4. Tap Use sticker to add it to your reel or story.

• From photos on Instagram:

  1. Navigate to the photo you want to transform into a sticker.
  2. Tap the three dots on the top right of the post.
  3. Select Create sticker.

Once created, these stickers are saved in your sticker tray for future use, and others can save and reuse your cutout stickers in their content.
