Instagram is adding some new creative options—including a range of new fonts for your Reels and Stories, stickers for photos, text animation, and more, reports Social Media Today.
First off, IG has added several new text fonts that you can use in your posts to enhance the feel of your Stories with fonts that better align with your message.
Instagram also has simplified the process of adding text to your posts, making it easier to access these new styles.
As per Instagram: “Open the text tool and tap on the text button to see the new fonts. Once you’ve selected a font, you can animate your text or add an effect—easily mix and match to find a combination that breaks the mold and feels uniquely you.”
Text animation is another new feature. What’s more, users will be able to add stickers to photos and carousel posts. Recently, Instagram expanded carousel posts to 20 frames, providing even more capacity to build extensive collections.
The new updates are part of Instagram’s push to keep a hold on young audiences. TikTok, for example, already enables users to post photos with stickers and—with it looking more and more like TikTok will be gone from the United States early next year—Instagram’s looking to create a more familiar space for cast-offs from the app.
