Instagram does not stop innovating. After the recent redesign of Instagram Direct, its private messaging section, now it's up to Instagram Stories. And it is that this function of videos and photos that disappear after 24 hours is still on the rise. According to the company, there are already 200 million people a day using this feature. A tool that can now be customized a little more with stickers of our faces
How these stickers work
Your introduction is really simple and organic. Just take a photo or video in the Instagram Stories section. After this, all that remains is to display the stickers screen by sliding your finger from the bottom to the top of the screen. Here we find a new sticker with the photo camera icon
When clicking on this icon, a new space appears on the screen to show what the mobile's front camera captures. That is, a selfie or selfie. It is possible to reframe and take the desired capture Once the selfie is taken, it is possible to click on the result to show the different styles of this sticker: with square frame , round frame, blurred edges”¦ It can also be made larger or smaller and moved anywhere in the content before publishing.
Following in the footsteps of Snapchat
Instagram continues with its blatant proposal to copy each and every feature of Snapchat. Something that is working quite well. Along with sticker selfies, Instagram has also introduced the possibility of pasting stickers in videos And not to make them stay put, but to attach them to some mobile element and that move with it.
Again, something that Snapchat already exploited last year in a surprising way and with a more accurate and comfortable operation. In the case of Instagram, you have to record a video for Instagram Stories, choose a sticker and long press on it With this the video is paused and the sticker it can be taken anywhere on the screen, and at any time in the video. When you press the Mark button, the sticker sticks to that place in the video and moves accordingly.
