Understanding Instagram Stories can be a little difficult as it is vast But, Don't worry we have it all covered here for you. Right from filters to chat and Instagram music is all covered here.

1. Instagram stories
● Instagram launched Instagram Stories.
● It’s feature that allows users to take photos, add effects
and layers, and add them to their Instagram story.
● Images uploaded to a user's story expire after 24 hours.
● The media noted the feature's similarities to Snapchat.

3. Stickers , Face Filters & GIFS
● Instagram Stories incorporated augmented reality
stickers, a "clone" of Snapchat's functionality.
● Instagram expanded the augmented reality sticker feature
to support face filters, letting users add specific visual
features onto their faces
● Instagram teamed up with GIPHY to build a library of high-
quality GIFs on Instagram Stories. Now you can add fun,
expressive GIF stickers to any photo or video in your story.

5. Location Stickers
● Like location tags for regular Instagram posts, when you
tag a location on Instagram Stories, such as a
neighborhood or a restaurant, your story will appear in the
public stories feed of that location.
● So anyone who searches for that location on Instagram
will be able to see and engage with your story.

6. Hashtag Stickers
● Much like location stickers, when you tag your story with a
hashtag sticker, other users will be able to see and
engage with your story on that hashtag’s page.
● If your followers tap on the hashtag sticker on your story,
they’ll be brought to the hashtag page and will be able to
explore other media that’s been shared with the same

viewers can drag the slider left or right to submit their
response.

story, other users submit questions for you to answer.

group chat (like a group DM)

● Instagram Live is a feature on Instagram Stories that
