These additions aim to inspire creativity and deeper interaction while remaining user-friendly.
Unveil Hidden Content with โRevealโ
Among the new updates isย โReveal,โย a feature that lets users share a hidden Story that followers can uncover only by sending a direct message.
To accessย โReveal,โย click the stickers icon when creating a Story, then select theย โRevealโย option.
After selecting the feature, users will be prompted to write a hint about the blurred content.
Aย โPreviewโย icon on the screenโs bottom-left corner lets users see how the Story will appear to followers.
Once the Story is posted, followers must send a direct message to view its contents, although there is no need to approve each DM for the Story to be revealed.
Musicย Yourย Way with โAdd Yours Musicโ

- After selecting it, clickย โ+ / Add Musicโย to choose a song from Instagramโs extensive music library.
- Followers can add their songs once the Story is live using theย โAdd Yoursโย button.
Create Nostalgia with โFramesโ
Theย โFramesโย feature transforms a photo into a virtual Polaroid for a nostalgic touch.
Followers can reveal the image by shaking their smartphones orย byย using theย โShake to revealโย button.
Theย โFramesโย sticker automatically adds the date and timestamp of the image, while users can also add captions.
Get Creative with โCutoutsโ
Theย โCutoutsโย feature lets users turn a part of any photo or video into a custom sticker to include in a Story or Reel.ย
Thisย is reminiscent of Appleโs image cutout tool, making it easy toย โpick upโย an object from a picture or video and repurpose it creatively.
These features open up new opportunities for users and creators to engageย meaningfullyย while personalizing theirย Instagram Stories.
