Instagram’s head, Adam Mosseri, has revealed a new feature under development – a custom sticker tool for Reels and Stories. With this tool, users will be able to create personalized stickers using their own photos or others’ images. Users can select a photo, remove its background, and place it as a regular sticker anywhere on their Stories and Reels.
The custom sticker tool allows users to work with photos stored on their phones and images they find on Instagram, which means they can create stickers from other people’s content as well. It’s worth noting that Instagram will likely provide an option for users to opt out of this feature, as reported by Engadget.
This feature appears to be inspired by Apple’s custom sticker feature, introduced with iOS 16. Apple users have been able to create custom stickers and use them in their Instagram posts, even allowing them to create content from screenshots of other people’s posts. However, the article does not specify when Instagram users can expect to see this custom sticker tool become available.
This new feature represents Instagram’s ongoing efforts to enhance user creativity and engagement by providing unique tools for personalizing their content.
