Instagram has announced the release of three new Diwali stickers to encourage users to connect with their friends and family. Once users post Stories with the stickers, their followers will see them in a Diwali-themed multi-author story.
These stickers are part of Instagram’s global Diwali campaign #ShareYourLight. They were created in collaboration with Neethi(@kneethee), a Bangalore based illustrator, muralist and pattern designer to commemorate new beginnings and the triumph of light over darkness.

Apart from this, the photo-sharing app owned by Meta formerly Facebook has also introduced adding links in Stories to all accounts. Stories links were earlier limited to verified accounts or those with a certain number of followers. But on users’ demand Instagram has expanded the feature to general users as well.

The company is also working on ways to customise the sticker so that people know what they will see when they tap your link.
