Instagram announced today that it\u2019s introducing a new \u201cAdd Yours\u201d sticker that creates public threads in Stories. The new feature essentially allows users to respond to other users\u2019 Stories with their own following a prompt or a certain topic. The global launch comes as Instagram initially tested the feature in Indonesia and Japan last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The interactive sticker can be used to create a content chain where each user adds their own Story. For instance, a user can post an \u201cOutfit of the Day\u201d Story and then prompt their followers to add their own via the sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith custom prompts and public responses, you can share the sticker and see who responds to it in their own Stories,\u201d the social media giant said in a tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can access the new feature by selecting the sticker tool from the top navigation bar when you capture or upload content to your Story. From there, you can select the \u201cAdd Yours\u201d sticker to start a public thread. Alternatively, you can respond to an \u201cAdd Yours\u201d sticker by clicking on it and adding your own Story to take part in a chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the feature is aimed at getting users to collaborate, it can also be seen as a way to discover more people to follow. Once you click on the sticker in someone\u2019s Story, you\u2019ll be able to see everyone who has taken part in the thread and view their Stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s worth noting that the new sticker is somewhat similar to TikTok\u2019s \u201cduet\u201d feature, which allows users to create content featuring an original video. However, Instagram\u2019s feature slightly differs, as it allows you to see everyone\u2019s additional posts in the content chain in one place, whereas TikTok currently doesn\u2019t surface all of the duetted videos that were posted from an original TikTok in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The launch of this latest sticker comes as Instagram made its\u00a0Link sticker\u00a0in Stories available to all users last week after previously limiting it to businesses and high-profile creators. The global availability of these two new stickers aims to give users ways to collaborate and share their interests, as Instagram continues to compete with other social media platforms. | TechCrunch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
