Instagram starts rolling out customizable Story templates

Instagram is back, as the social app has launched a brand new feature that allows its users to further customize story templates. Starting today, Instagramers should start seeing several options that make it easier to create their own unique Stories via “Add Your Own” templates.

The new “Add Your Own” templates are easy to use and can be personalized with GIFs, images, and text for a complete customization experience. To start creating your own story, simply upload it and add any visual edits you see fit, including a GIF, custom text, or even an image from your phone's gallery (via TechCrunch).

Once you're happy with the results, you can tap the “Add your templates” sticker and choose the media items you want to pin. These customizable templates can be shared but nothing added to them can be changed.

However, it is possible to add templates in addition to what has already been included during the customization process. According to Instagram, the new feature is now rolling out globally to Android and iOS devices, but it will take a few days for the customizable “Add Yours” templates to show up for everyone, so be patient if you don't. not see it in your application yet.
