‘Introducing Instagram’s New Customizable ‘Add Yours’ Templates’

Insta Add Yours Temp
Instagram launched a new feature where you can create customized “Add Yours” templates with GIFs, images and text, allowing you to make your own meme-able Stories for followers to participate in. To create an Add Yours template, start uploading a Story and add elements like a GIF, custom text or an image from the gallery. Then tap on the “Add Yours Templates” sticker and select which elements you want to pin. Now anyone can take an Add Yours prompt and add their own spin to it, allowing for more creative expression and collaboration. Similarly, Instagram introduced a “template browser” for Reels in July, letting you discover and customize pre-made templates to add to your videos.

“Share Quick Video Updates on Instagram’s New Status Feature”

Note Replies Gradient
Instagram is launching the ability for users to post video Notes, the company announced on Wednesday. Up until now, you could only post text or emojis to your status update. Now, you can post a two-second looping video Note that will be visible to your mutual followers or Close Friends for 24 hours. Another differentiator between video Notes and video Stories is that you can only post content from your front-facing camera when sharing video Notes. Plus, you have to capture the content in the app when posting a video Note, which means that you can’t upload a video from your phone’s camera gallery.
