As per the well-known tech news source Engadget, Instagram plans to roll out Instagram Notes, its short message status update feature, directly on a user’s profile page.
The app is also testing out “prompts” for Notes, enabling users to post questions for their friends to respond to in their updates, similar to the interactive “add yours” templates for Stories.
This update is expected to boost the visibility of the feature and provide users with another platform to engage with their friends’ updates. Notes function similarly to Stories, lasting for only 24 hours. However, they are visible only to mutual followers, meaning they’re not intended for as broad sharing as regular grid or Stories posts.
To make a custom sticker with Cutouts:
- While crafting a reel or story, tap the Stickers icon at the top.
- Choose the new Cutouts option.
- Pick a photo or video with a clear subject.
- A sticker will be made from the photo or video automatically. If it’s not what you had in mind, tap “Select manually” at the bottom left to choose the object you want for your sticker. Note: You can only select one object at a time for the sticker.
- You can continue to create your reel or story or save your sticker for later use.
The newly created custom stickers will also be saved for later use.
