Remember the thrill of swapping mixtapes with friends? Well, the Add Yours Music sticker brings that nostalgic vibe straight to your Stories. Here’s the magic:

1. Pick Your Anthem: Feeling groovy? Melancholic? Share the song that perfectly captures your mood. Tap the sticker icon and select “Add Yours Music.” Then, dive into Instagram’s vast music library and find the perfect track.
2. Turn it into a Music Frenzy: The fun doesn’t stop there! Your story becomes a launchpad for a musical adventure. Once you post, your friends can jump in and add their favorite songs using the “Add Yours” button. It’s a fantastic way to discover hidden gems, create a collaborative playlist, or simply bond over your shared love for music.

Unearth a forgotten photo from a wild weekend with friends or a heartwarming family gathering? The Frames sticker lets you relive those cherished moments in a whole new way.

1. Frame Your Favorite Memories: Tap the sticker icon and select “Frames.” This opens your photo gallery, where you can choose the perfect picture to be transformed.
2. Shake it Off for a Surprise: Once you’ve added your chosen photo and a caption (optional!), here comes the interactive part. Your followers get to “develop” the image by giving their phones a good shake! It’s like watching a vintage Polaroid come to life, adding a layer of playful anticipation to your stories.

Ever crave a little mystery? The Reveal sticker is here to ignite your followers’ curiosity. Here’s how to use it:

1. Craft a Hidden Gem: Select the “Reveal” sticker and get ready to craft a captivating teaser. Type a hint about the content hiding behind the blurred image, piquing your audience’s interest.
2. Unlock the Mystery Through DMs: The only way your followers can unveil the hidden story is by sending you a DM. Don’t worry, you won’t have to approve every message – once a DM arrives, the story automatically reveals itself. This is a fantastic way to spark conversations, create anticipation, or share something a little more personal.

Let’s face it, not every photo deserves a permanent spot on your feed. But with the Cutouts sticker, even the most casual moments can be transformed into something truly special.

1. Craft Your Masterpiece: Tap on the sticker icon and look for the scissors icon labeled “Cutouts.” Select a photo or video from your camera roll, ideally one with a clear subject. Instagram will automatically generate a sticker based on your selection. Feeling a little more precise? You can even manually refine the object you want for your sticker.
2. Reusable Fun: The best part? These custom stickers are saved for future use! They’ll be readily available in your sticker tray, so you can add a touch of whimsy to any story or reel whenever inspiration strikes. Plus, these creations are reusable by others, allowing your friends to add your unique cutouts to their stories and reels as well!
