Meta Introduces New Reels Features to Instagram and Facebook that Includes An ‘Add Yours’ Sticker
Meta today announced that it is launching new Reels features on Instagram and Facebook. The company has also launched an “Add Yours” sticker for Reels on both Facebook and Instagram. This sticker allows users to respond to Reels posted by others using their own stickers, following a prompt or on a specific topic. You can also share a Reel using an Add Yours prompt asking others to upload videos of their pets.
You can share Add Yours prompts and reels added by others will be displayed on a dedicated page. The prompt’s creator will be listed at the top of this page. The feature can be used to encourage users to collaborate but it can also serve as a way for people to find others to follow.
This feature was introduced for Instagram Stories in the fall. According to the company, the sticker is a very popular Stories feature so Meta decided to add it to its Reels collection, especially considering that it plans to increase the number of short-form videos. Meta may see the sticker as a way for users to create their own Reels and respond to the original. It could also be a way for users to share Reels that they haven’t posted before.
Meta also announced it is opening Stars to all eligible creators. These virtual items allow fans express support for their favorite creators via Facebook Reels. Stars was previously extended to Facebook Reels by the company and it is now available to all eligible creators. Meta also noted that the company recently launched new mobile options to get Stars started and track earnings.
