Instagram Snapchat-Like Stories Update: How To Add Stickers, Shoot Hands-Free Videos
Instagram wants to spice up your photos and videos with Stickers that display location names, time, weather and emoji. There’s also limited-time seasonal graphics like Christmas trees, Hanukkah menorah and a candy paint brush.
How To Add Stickers To Instagram Stories
After you shoot a photo or video on Instagram, you can access the Stickers by tapping the smiley icon at the top of the Stories camera screen. This reveals a ton of stickers. For location, you can search for anywhere in Instagram Place’s to turn a store, landmark or city into a Sticker. You can add locations from anywhere around the world, unlike Snapchat, which features drawn geofilters that are only available while you’re nearby. They also come in two fonts, white or purple, that you swap between by tapping.
In addition to location, time and weather, some of the seasonal stickers can be tapped to change their design. You can see the time as an analog clock, old alarm clock or digital clock, while the weather can show the temperature, too.
If you’re not too thrilled with stickers, you might be by a few other Instagram Stories updates.
