Instagram released an Add Yours sticker in Instagram Stories, which allows creators to turn their Stories posts into threads where other users can respond with their own content that matches a particular prompt. For instance, a creator may share an Add Yours prompt with the phrase “Outfit of the day,” which encourages other users to share their own outfits in response to the prompt.

Our guide will show you how to use the Add Yours sticker in Stories.
