'Instagram' New Update 2016: Add Stickers To Photos, Record Hands-Free Videos, And A Lot More!

In the new update released by Instagram, it looks like the social media app is propelling its response to Snapchat's geo filters offering an approach to flavor up your photographs and recordings with Stickers that shows your location area, time, weather and emoji.

As reported by Fortune and The Next Web, there's currently boundless content boxes for Stories rather than only one for every picture, and a one-touch hands-free video recording choice to draw in entertainers like guitarists who require both hands that you can swipe to from the Stories camera selector. The new features begin taking off today on iOS and Android.

The new highlights give Instagram the fun and adaptability expected to begin getting up to speed with Snapchat as it tries to close the hole between their imaginative and creative tools. Instagram is in the mean time augmenting the partition between its purer shading filters-only lasting feed, and its anything-goes transient Stories canvas.
Instagram declined to remark on whether it arrangements to offer supported stickers as an income generator, artists drawn area stickers, or a platform for submitting sticker outlines. It just shared that they are still working on more creative tools to give the users more fun and versatile options.

You can get to the Stickers by tapping the Smiley symbol at the highest point of the Stories camera screen after you've taken a photograph or video. This uncovers several accessible stickers. For location, you can scan for anyplace in Instagram's Places database to turn that store, historic point, neighborhood, or city into a Sticker.

Instagram Stories dashed to 100 million day by day user only 2 months in the wake of launching what CEO Kevin Systrom conceded was a Snapchat Stories duplicate. Presently, by joining Instagram's 600 million month to month users that overtop Snapchat's, Stories' comfortable position at the top of the profoundly utilized Instagram feed, and quickly enhancing creative tools, Instagram's cloning endeavors could pay off abundantly.
