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.
Here is how you can apply Stickers on Instagram:
- Add content to your story by capturing it or uploading it.
- From the top navigation bar, select the sticker tool.
- The three new Diwali themed stickers can be found in the features section. Put the same thing on your story.
- Now complete your story and post it!
The stickers are now available for access, and the multi-author story will be available starting tonight.
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.
Here is how to Add Links to your stories
To add a link to your Instagram story, use the Link sticker. People who tap on the sticker will be redirected.
To add a Link sticker, follow these steps:
- Add content to your story by capturing it or uploading it.
- From the top navigation bar, select the sticker tool.
- Now tap the “Link” option to add the link of your choice then tap Done.
- Place the Link sticker on your story, just like other stickers available on Instagram and tap to see colour variations.
The company is also working on ways to customise the sticker so that people know what they will see when they tap your link.
