Add Yours Music
You can share a song that makes you feel good with your followers by using the Add Yours Music sticker, and they can add music of their own using the Add Yours feature with the music sticker. To Add Yours Music tap the stickers icon, then tap on the icon that says “Add Yours Music.” Once selected, tap on “+ / Add Music” to select a song from Instagram’s music library. Your friends can use the “Add Yours” button to add their own song after you post your story.
Frames Sticker
Any picture can be instantly printed with the Frames sticker. Your followers will need to shake their phones to develop the image in order to see the content inside. To add the Frames sticker to your Instagram story, first tap the stickers icon. Then this will open up your photo gallery, where you can select one image to be framed. You have the option to add a caption once you’ve chosen an image. The time and date the picture was taken will be automatically added. Your friends and followers can develop the image inside the frame by shaking their phones or by tapping the “shake to reveal” button once you’ve posted your story.

Reveal Sticker
You can post a hidden Instagram story for your friends and followers to see by using the Reveal sticker. They have to DM you in order to view the content. To create a story, tap the stickers icon and then select the “Reveal” icon. You’ll be asked to write a hint for friends about what they might discover behind your hazy story when you click the Reveal sticker. You can tap the “Preview” icon in the bottom left-hand corner to see how your story will appear to friends. Your friends will only be able to view the content of your story if they DM you after you publish it, but you won’t have to accept every DM for your story to be visible.
Cutouts
With the Cutouts sticker, you can turn part of any video or photo in your camera roll into a custom sticker that you can add to your story or reel. Once you create your cutouts, they are saved and easily accessible in your sticker tray, so you can come back to them time and time again. You can even let others save and reuse the cutout stickers you created in their reels and stories.
