Do not miss Instagram’s story features!
We all love making and sharing stories on Instagram. But have you ever thought about how we can do that more efficiently and more attractive?
We are going to discuss two notable features in Instagram’s story section.
A new feature has recently been added to the story part, and it makes more communication between people.
There is also another feature that it changes with every event. You may have guessed by now. Haven’t you? Ok, think about it.
Yes, you are right! The festival stickers.
What are the new Instagram story features?
Let’s first talk about the new one that Instagram has announced recently: Add yours feature.
“Add yours” feature:
Check that you have updated the latest version of Instagram. Go to the navigation bar. After uploading your desired photo or video, choose the “add yours” feature to bring in a public thread.
This feature allows the users to upload a story and ask their followers to respond by uploading a related one.
This platform tested this feature last month in Japan before its universal publishing. It can make a content chain where each user adds their own story.
Take this example; users can post a “Homemade meal” story and then encourage their audiences to add their own using the sticker.
Or another example is that you can share the last time you went sightseeing or hiking and then ask your followers to share their photos and continue this exciting chain.
The new feature’s goal is to get users to collaborate. However, it can also be seen as a way to discover more people and follow them.
By clicking on the sticker in someone’s story, you’ll be able to see everyone who has taken part in this content chain. You can even see their stories if they have a public account.
Also, note that the “Link sticker” is now available on all the accounts. Back then, it was only for professional accounts.
You can add all these content to Instagram stories highlight covers and save them as long as you want.
“Festive stickers” feature:
Instagram always lunches special sticker events in every event or festival. These stickers are called Festive stickers.
When you add these stickers to your story, your story will be in a remarkable multi-author story. So it is the best way to show up your stories. If you want to upload content related to festivals or that special event, add your favorite festive sticker, and your story will be in the multi-author story part.
Some stickers have the “tap for more” option. If you tap the sticker, it will change to another sticker of the same event.
