Instagram is Testing New Interactive Stickers
Instagram is starting to test new interactive stickers in the app. Instagram stickers have become a fun way to interact with your audience on stories. There are many options to choose from including asking a question, adding your favorite song, using a GIF, and more! Plus, you can even create your own!
The first rumored sticker to be added is a “Secret” sticker. Alessandro Paluzzi, an app leaker and developer took to X and posted screenshots of what the new sticker looks like.
The secret Instagram sticker would serve as a “hidden” message, and those who respond with a message will be able to see the secret. Additionally, the Instagram sticker could serve as a good way to boost interaction with your followers. You could also share a secret code, date, or photo!
This next sticker that Instagram is working on is an “app” sharing sticker. With this sticker, users will be able to link an app to their story. Again, this is a great way for creators to interact with their following. They will be able to share the apps they use to film, edit, and design. Or even if you are promoting an application, this could be a good way to share it instead of using a direct link.
Yes, there’s more! Palluzzi also posted on X about an “Anon Questions” Instagram sticker. For example, this will allow your followers to ask questions anonymously, as their usernames will not be visible. If you are a shy social media user, this is ideal for you.
“Music Pick” is the most recent sticker that Instagram is developing. Music Pick lets your followers submit their favorite songs to the sticker, essentially creating a playlist. Are you looking for new music? This also appears to be an ideal technique to gain a feel for new songs and music genres.
Instagram Stories have come a very long way throughout the years, not only with Instagram stickers but with all the other amazing features. If you want a complete guide to Instagram stories, read this in-depth blog!
