Instagram has about a thousand new features they've just added to end your year on a high

Instagram has about a thousand new features they've just added to end your year on a high

This holiday season, Instagram has some special new features to share with their HUGE community of 1 billion people worldwide.

Instagram GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

Instagram is a platform to express yourself, and they've just made it way more interactive.

Here are some of their brand new features!

COUNTDOWN STICKERS!

The app has launched an interactive sticker in Instagram Stories that will allow you to count down an exciting moment - no matter how big or small! 

Thes best part is that you can also subscribe to your friends' countdowns by clicking on their sticker, and you'll receive a notification when their countdown ends.

Some celebrities like Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and The Chainsmokers have already used the feature.

.

MUSIC FOR QUESTIONS & MUSIC FACE FILTERS

There is now a lot more you can do with music on Instagram.

There is a music option in the Questions sticker, so you can ask your friends to respond with songs from their own music library, and then share to your story!

With the face filters, you can pick your fave song and dance it out. Go to the music format in your Stories camera and pick a song you like. 

.

Q&A IN LIVE

You can now share your responses to the Questions Sticker in Live! 

To do this, go to your friend's story and type a response to their question sticker. When they go Live to answer, you'll see a 'Q&A' badge in your Stories tray to tell you that the Live session is happening and that you can tune in.

If you want to ask a question while they're already Live, you can go back to their story to ask a question and it'll appear in their questions response list. @alexhayes and @jamiezhu have already started using Q&A in Live!

.

You can share photos & videos in Live. Any photos and videos from your camera roll while you are Live can be shared in vertical and horizontal videos, and they will auto-adjust in the video to the right size!

Happy Instagramming!
