Instagram now allows users to add an emoji slider sticker to their Reels posts. Previously, users could add the emoji slider sticker to Stories posts.
The emoji slider sticker allows creators to share a question or phrase with their viewers, and their viewers can react by dragging an emoji along a horizontal slider.
Our guide will show you how to use the emoji slider sticker in Reels.
Note: These screenshots were captured in the Instagram application on iOS.
Step 1: Once you’ve captured or imported content in Instagram Reels, tap the “Stickers” icon at the top of the screen.
Step 2: Tap the emoji slider sticker.
Step 3: Type the question or prompt you want your viewers to respond to.
If you want the sticker to have a different emoji, tap the desired emoji above your device’s keyboard.
Note: You can swipe from right to left to view additional emoji options, and you can also tap the “plus sign” icon at the far right end of the emoji options to view even more emoji.
If you want to change the sticker’s background color, tap the colorful circle at the top of the screen. You can tap the circle multiple times to cycle through the different options.
Step 4: Once you’re done customizing the emoji slider sticker, tap “Done” in the top-right corner of the screen.
Now, you can rotate, resize and drag the sticker around the screen to best fit your Reel before sharing it.
