Ready to learn how to add stickers on Instagram to increase engagement and get more views on your Instagram Stories? Let’s dive in!
Instagram stickers, like a poll or music sticker, are in-app decorations for your photos and videos – no editing required! Simply pick a GIF image or video and put them in any place where you want to add extra flair.
Depending on your mood (and brand goals), you can also select interactive stickers to ask your followers questions, take polls or respond to challenges!
And if you don’t find any stickers on Instagram that you like, you can create your own! (We’ll talk more about how to design an original sticker below.)
There are tons of stickers to choose from on Instagram. Some are purely decorative or used to express your feelings. Others serve as interactive tools for engaging with followers!
With the right stickers, your Story will show up in a specific story feed. Some GIF stickers come with unique features and animations, too!
Learn how to get cool stickers on Instagram by picking GIF stickers and emojis, special occasion stickers, and interactive Instagram Story stickers.
Here at Tailwind, we love emojis, and we know you do too!
So it’s great that you can add emojis as stickers to your Instagram Story.
These are the same as the emojis found in the iOS and Android libraries.
Of course, you can also add static (non-moving) and moving GIF stickers to your Story.
You’ll find many popular GIFs in the sticker tray or use the search bar to look for stickers that fit a specific phrase or theme!
Special occasion stickers are a fun way to celebrate a holiday or show solidarity with a movement.
For instance, Instagram published Stickers in support of Black Lives Matter and protests across the globe, Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month, and Pride Month, and a campaign to encourage voting in the upcoming US election.
Plus, you get bonus features when you use special occasion Instagram stickers. Some add a colorful ring around your icon, whereas others add your Story to a special Story collection that appears at the beginning of the Story feed.
Now the interactive Instagram Story stickers are where it really gets exciting. Each one allows your social media viewers to interact with you or the brands featured in your Story.
Boost engagement and create an incredible experience by trying out these interactive Story stickers:

2. Without closing the Instagram app, navigate to your camera roll.
3. Open the image in your camera roll and select share options.
