Jazzing Up Your Story Post Using Stickers
Instagram has many fun stickers to choose from — and they keep adding more, so there are always fun new ways to augment your content. In this section, you look at some of the more common stickers available and see how to use them in your content.
Stickers are available by tapping the sticker icon — a square smiley face — on the Story screen after you’ve uploaded or taken a photo or video (see the left side of Figure 16-1). Tapping the sticker icon opens a screen (or tray) with various sticker and emoji options, as shown on the right side of Figure 16-1.
