Instagram has unveiled a range of new features for Stories, aimed at enhancing user creativity and interaction within the platform. Among these updates is the “Reveal” feature, allowing users to post hidden Stories that can only be uncovered by followers through direct messages (DMs).
The Reveal sticker offers an intriguing way to share content by posting a secret Story that requires viewers to send a DM to reveal its contents.
How to Use the Reveal Feature:
- Tap the stickers icon while creating a Story.
- Select the “Reveal” option from the stickers menu.
- Type a hint about your blurred Story to entice viewers.
- Preview how your Story will appear to friends.
- Post your Story, and viewers can only see its content by sending you a DM.
Once you’ve posted a hidden Story, viewers can unlock it by sending a DM, eliminating the need for manual approval for each DM to reveal your Story.
Instagram’s introduction of the Reveal feature adds an element of mystery and engagement to Stories, encouraging users to interact more actively with their content. This innovative update aligns with Instagram’s commitment to fostering dynamic and creative experiences for its users.
