Instagram is rolling out a series of updates designed to inspire creativity and make it easier for users to personalize their content. These improvements include exciting additions like new fonts, text animations, and effects for Reels and Stories, and the ability to add text and stickers directly to photos and carousels. Additionally, users can now showcase more of their experiences by including up to 20 photos and videos in a single carousel post. The redesigned text tool for Reels and Stories features a simplified interface and a range of new fonts, animations, and effects. Users can access these options by tapping the text button in the text tool, making it easy to experiment with different combinations and discover their own unique style.
Adding text and stickers to photos and carousels is now easier than ever. After selecting a photo from their gallery, users can tap the text button to access the new text tool and insert their chosen fonts. They can also layer additional images on top of each other by tapping the gallery button and experiment with sticker shapes by tapping the sticker itself.
