With the introduction of new text animations, distinctive fonts, and effects for Instagram Reels and stories, Instagram is aiming to improve the storytelling experience of content creators.

Instagram has announced several updates to improve its users' storytelling experience. At the Meta-owned site, people can now customise their stories and reels with new fonts, text animations, and effects. To view the new typefaces, all they have to do is open the text tool and press the text icon. After picking the font, users can animate their text or apply effects to add uniqueness to their content. 

Furthermore, Instagram users may now use stickers to layer images on photos and carousels and add text, including the recently released fonts. With this update, users may now express their creativity more freely and produce more interesting content. It also allows them more artistic freedom. To use these capabilities, users have to first choose an image from their media library and then hit the text icon. After this, press the gallery button in the upper-right area of the screen to add more photographs to the stack. Users can resize and adjust stickers into numerous shapes, including rectangles, squares, circles, hearts, and stars.

Other Recent Updates

Instagram announced earlier this month that users may now incorporate up to 20 photographs or videos per carousel. Notably, the prior maximum for placing content in a single carousel was 10. For the uninitiated, Instagram's Carousels feature debuted in 2015, with the ability to include up to five photos. In 2017, the maximum was increased to ten, and videos were added to the list of options.

For the last few months, Instagram has been adding new features and enhancing existing ones to better the experience, specifically for content creators. A new update to Instagram Reels last month made multi-track capabilities possible by allowing users to add up to 20 songs to a single reel.
