One of the easiest ways to make your Instagram story pop up is to add stickers. Not only that, but Stickers also allow you to interact with your audience on Instagram in real-time. You can do a poll, a quiz, ask a question or just add a fun GIF to an otherwise bland story post.

Here’s how you can add Stickers to your Instagram story.

Step 1. Create a story

Open your Instagram app and click on the camera icon in the top left.

Instagram allows you to upload an image or a video from your camera roll and share it to stories directly.

You can also switch the camera mode to “Create” if you want to type in a message.
