Say It With Stickers
Instagram Stickers: The Underrated Feature That Can Take Your Stories Further

Instagram Stickers are dynamic graphic elements that can be added to both image and video stories. Some are animated, some are clickable, and others even allow users to interact directly with the story. Simply put, they make your stories more interesting, which makes users more likely to engage with them.  Stickers can be found after you've taken or uploaded your photo or video by tapping on the sticker icon in the top right corner of your stories' editing options.
