Ever since it launched in August, Instagram’s Stories feature has been gaining new features to help it better compete against existing services. Those additions have included live video and support for links, and now Stories is getting another new feature.
Instagram has added Stickers to Stories. They work just like you’d expect, letting you place a sticker on your photo or video. There are customizable stickers for the weather, time, and location, and you can move the stickers around and resize them as well.
To celebrate this Stickers launch and the holiday season, Instagram is offering special holiday stickers for the next few weeks. These include mistletoe, gingerbread men, snowmen, a dreidel, candy canes, and more.
Other new features rolling out to Instagram today include a Hands-Free option that’ll let you record video without holding the shutter button down, support for adding as much text to a photo as you’d like, and on iOS, users can save their entire story from the past 24 hours as one video.
To get these new features, you can update to version 10.3 of the Instagram apps on iPhone and Android.
