Instagram has introduced a bunch of new interactive Story stickers. One of them is called ‘Reveal,’ and it is intelligently created to boost DM conversations, which Instagram has lately been focusing more on.
The Reveal sticker blurs the content of the Story which can
be viewed only if the viewer DMs the user. This is really going to help creator
accounts that can rely on the feature to boost their DM inflow.
Another sticker is called ‘Frames’ and this one is pretty cool too. Resembling a polaroid, the sticker frame can be put up on a Story to turn it into a polaroid picture that you can also add a caption to. But there’s more fun to it - anybody who views your Story with this sticker will need to shake their phone in order for the image to “develop” into a polaroid. The frame also automatically adds a timestamp and date of when the photo was taken. This sticker first came out during Coachella, and featured K-Pop girl group Lesserafim in their Instagram Story.
Lastly, there is a music-based template which is similar to
the ‘Add Yours’ sticker. This one is called ‘Add Yours Music’ and it can be
used to add prompts to share songs to Stories. For instance, you could type ‘favourite
song on X album’ or ‘songs to listen to in the car.’
