💡 Add Color Background (or Overlay)

💡 Turn Photos into Boomerangs

Upload the live photo to your story. Click the "Boomerang" link tool on the top of your screen. And watch the magic work!

💡 Add Several Photos (and Change the Shape!)

Upload photo to your story. Click the story sticker to overlay another. Place the photo and click on it to change the shape (circle, heart, star, etc.).

💡 Automate Closed Captions

Inclusivity is everything! And how can you not be inclusive when features are automated!? Next time you record a video story, head over to your stickers and click on "Captions" for Instagram to generate them for you.
