Instagram is testing out a new tool that allows users to create custom stickers. The beta feature was shared by CEO Adam Mosseri in a video uploaded to his broadcast channel.<\/p>\n
In the clip, Mosseri demonstrates how the feature allows one to select the subject of an image, remove it from its background and then use the isolated subject as a sticker that can be applied to both Stories and Reels.<\/p>\n
The tool is relatively straightforward and pretty intuitive to use, as it\u2019s similar to the sticker creation capabilities of Snapchat.<\/p>\n
Mosseri mentioned that, beyond users being able to cut out stickers from their own photos, they can create stickers from \u201celigible images you see on Instagram.\u201d He didn\u2019t elaborate on what would make a photo \u201celigible,\u201d though it likely means users would be able to opt to give followers permission to cut stickers from their photos.<\/p>\n
