New Creative Features
Social network Instagram has introduced a number of improvements to its content creation tools. Now users can easily add text and additional images to their photos, both in single posts and in carousels. According to the company, these innovations "provide creative freedom to highlight content and explore new, more engaging narratives with photos and carousels."
Process of adding elements
In order to add text to the selected photo, just click on the corresponding button.

After adding a sticker, its shape can be changed by choosing one of the proposed options: rectangle, square, circle, heart or star.

Users also have access to new unique fonts, animations and effects in a simplified tool for working with text in stories.

Instagram has finally added the ability to edit photos right in the app! 🎉 Now you don't need to use third-party apps to add text or stickers. Has anyone tried the new features yet?
Hans
Yes, I already tried it! I especially liked the function of adding additional images in the form of stickers. Now my travels will look even cooler! 🌍✈️ Olivia, have you already experimented with new forms of stickers?
Sophie
Oh, I'm excited about the new fonts and animations for the stories! 😍 This brings the content to life so much. Hans, which sticker shape did you like best? I just fell in love with the hearts!
Miguel
Guys, have you noticed that you can now add up to 20 photos and videos to the carousel? This is just space for those who love to share long stories! 🚀 Sophie, have you already tried creating such long posts?
Victor
Honestly, I don't understand this hype around new features. Previously, people would just share photos and everyone would have a good time. And now every post turns into a circus with stickers and animations. Where is this world heading?
Olivia
Victor, but this gives more opportunities for self-expression! 🎨 For example, I can now add interesting facts to travel photos. It’s great when you can not only show, but also tell!
Anna
I agree with Olivia! 👍 I think these updates make Instagram a more universal platform. Now you can create mini-blogs directly in the post. Victor, maybe it’s worth trying and seeing the benefits?
Hans
Anna, exactly! I have already created a post guide to my city using a carousel and text. It turned out informative and beautiful. Victor, maybe you can share your experience of using Instagram? What do you like about it?
