Following in Snapchat’s footsteps, Instagram today introduced an early version of geostickers in Instagram Stories for New York City and Jakarta.
Since introducing stickers in December, we’ve loved seeing how you’ve used them to bring your stories to life — from hats to Valentine’s Day fun to customizable location stickers. Now, with more than a dozen new stickers each for New York City and Jakarta, you have another creative option for adding context to your everyday moments.
To add a geosticker, tap the sticker icon after taking a photo or video. You’ll see geostickers at the top. Different stickers may appear when you’re visiting select neighborhoods and landmarks.
You can add as many stickers as you want, adjust their size and placement and mix and match with other creative tools. Just like the customizable location sticker, people watching your story can tap a geosticker to see the location page. Your story won’t show up on the location page itself.
Geostickers are part of Instagram version 10.11 for iOS and Android.
