The new customizable "Add Yours" templates on Instagram sound like a lot of fun for users
What are Add Yours templates?
- They're a new feature on Instagram Stories that lets users create their own interactive templates using GIFs, images, and text.
- Think of them like prompts or memes that your followers can then add their own spin to and share to their stories.
- This builds on the existing "Add Yours" sticker, which was launched in 2021 and allowed users to respond to prompts created by others.
Why are they a good addition?
- Increased engagement and interaction: The customizable templates encourage your followers to participate in your stories, leading to more interaction and a stronger sense of community.
- Creative expression: Users can get creative and come up with original prompts and templates, making their stories stand out.
- Trend potential: These templates have the potential to go viral, just like memes and popular challenges, if they spark the right kind of engagement.
How can you use them?
- Create your own template: Start by uploading a Story and adding your chosen elements like GIFs, images, and text. Then, use the "Add Yours" sticker and customize the prompt.
- Respond to others' templates: Find templates you like in your feed and add your own take on them, using the "Add Yours" sticker to contribute to the chain.
- Follow the trend: See what templates are popular and trending, and put your own spin on them to join the fun.
I'm sure this new feature will be a hit with Instagram users. It opens up new possibilities for creativity and interaction, and who knows what viral trends might emerge from it!
