| Instagram Unveils New Feature Transform Your Photos into Stickers and Reels |
Instagram is currently experimenting with a sticker creation feature that allows users to create personalized stickers from their own photos, and in some cases, from images shared by others.
These stickers can seamlessly be integrated into Reels or Stories. Unlike Meta's AI-generated stickers, this new tool is more user-friendly, identifying the main subject of a photo and creating a standalone sticker.
Adam Mosseri demonstrated the feature in a video, mentioning the ability to create stickers from both device photos and 'eligible images on Instagram.' The option to use these stickers for platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram is also a possibility, although it's uncertain if they can be saved locally.
The feature is in the testing phase and not available to all users yet, with no clear launch date provided. Instagram is also testing a new polling feature in the comments section beneath feed posts, similar to polls in WhatsApp group chats.
