Huge new Instagram upgrade on the way and it could change the way you post
Instagram users will soon be able to turn any of their photos into stickers which can be used on Reels, Stories and other posts.
The boss of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, showed off the new feature in a video posted to his channel.
It lets you quickly create a sticker using any image from your smartphone or other device, as well as 'eligible images you see on Instagram'.

That means users just got a really handy new way to put themselves in memes, paste their faces onto famous paintings, or just annoy their friends.
Instagram boss Adam Mosseri announced the experimental new feature on his channel (Instagram / Adam Mosseri (screengrab))The feature looks similar in scope to the iPhone's Visual Lookup tool, which can effectively 'cut' objects and people out of images and let users post them elsewhere.
Announcing the new feature, Mr Mosseri said: "We're testing a way for you to turn photos into custom stickers to use in reels and stories.
"You can create stickers from your own photos in your camera roll, or from eligible images you see on Instagram. Excited to see people get creative with this."
There's no word yet on when it will be launched as the feature is still in its test phase, but if tests are successful it should make it to Instagram users soon.
This isn't the only new Instagram feature being tested. Last week, Mosseri also announced a new poll feature which lets people add a multiple-choice vote to the comments of feed posts or Instagram reels.
