New Features for Holidays Introduced by Instagram
With Holidays approaching, Instagram has added new features for the holidays such as Collages for Stories, new fonts, seasonal Add Yours template and other features.
It is officially launching the tool as a part of its strategy for its holiday season push. Instagram has been promoting its collage tool as means of showcasing your Year on Stories with its update collection from 2024.
Instagram has been experimenting with collages for quite some time and it has also tested out collages within group chats. This is similar to Pinterest collage options which had stemmed from its Shuffles app. It gained traction with audiences last year and since them Pinterest has adapted collages into its main app.
With the traction of social function, even Meta has taken note of the same and created a clone. This will definitely be popular with users over the holiday period. IG has also come out with a new feature Add Yours template which would encourage participation during the holiday season.
A new feature has also been rolled out which is called the New Year font and Countdown text effect and new highlights for selected phrases in DMs and Notes so in case you are adding a note which says Happy New Year, you would be getting new purple highlighting in stream.
The whole list of phrases and terms has not been provided but basic holiday clichés. So now you can start the beginning of 2025 with additional features which could work even beyond the festive period.
