To enhance creativity on the platform, Instagram has introduced a brand-new feature that allows users to personalize their Stories like never before. The company calls the feature “Add Yours templates” which allows users to create their own unique, meme-worthy Add Yours templates. Other users can respond to your Add Yours story by adding their elements and asking their followers to do the same.
First of all, create a new Story by adding text, images, and GIFs. Then go to your Sticker Tray and select Add Yours templates. Pick elements that you want to include in the template. Write a prompt that you want others to respond to by using. It also suggests some prompts. Tap random or See more prompts at the bottom for suggested prompts. Anyone can use your Add Yours template and add their own touches. Instagram will notify you when someone adds to your prompt.
To engage with someone else’s template, users can simply tap on the “Add Yours” prompt when it appears in a Story. Then they can edit the template and experiment with their additions. Tapping on the faces displayed on the left side of the sticker allows users to identify others who have contributed their unique spins to the template.
The creative possibilities with Add Yours templates are virtually limitless. It is up to you how you want to use it.
This announcement follows Instagram’s introduction of templates for Reels last year. It shows the platform’s commitment to providing users with innovative tools to express themselves and connect with their followers in engaging ways.
