Instagram, like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, has received various updates throughout the year, which have managed to exponentially improve the user experience, so that we have even been able to know that they have surpassed 600 million monthly active users just five days ago. The guys on Instagram have something to celebrate at the end of the year.
In that influx of updates, today, as a Christmas present, the team announced even more features that are integrated into one of its biggest new additions: Stories. In version 10.3, Instagram has added stickers, special content for these Christmas dates and hands-free.
New features give Instagram users more ways to personalize your experience and have more fun sharing it with others. It seems that right now it is in a competition with Snapchat and many others, so the motivation is even more special to improve the end-user experience.
The new stickers They will appear right after you've taken a photo or video, right next to the text and drawing tools. You have to click on the emoji to find the stickers for the time, the current hour and even your location. Adding a location sticker works the same way as adding the location to the posts where you share it; just choose or search the location.
Those who see your story will be able to press the sticker to learn more about your location, but your story will not be shown on the same location page. The other novelty is that contextual stickers have different styles in order to match your emotional state.
Finally, you can add multiple text fields to any of the photos or videos and choose their location to the left, center or right of each of them. You can add all the text you want to photos or videos.
Nor should we forget the "hands-free" option which is located in the format selector that allows you to record a video with a simple press. Whether you're playing the guitar or displaying some special skill, you no longer have to hold the button down.
