Get Ready to Spookify Your Instagram with These Halloween Features!
Instagram has just announced some exciting new features just in time for Halloween. Get ready to add a spooky touch to your DMs, Stories, and more with these fun additions.
First off, Instagram has introduced “secret” Halloween-themed keywords in DMs and Notes that will trigger special effects and animations. By using specific keywords like “Halloween,” “Happy Halloween,” or “Trick-or-treat,” you can activate animations like bats flying across the screen. Emojis with a Halloween theme will also prompt these fun animations.
Next, Instagram has unveiled a new Halloween chat theme for DMs and broadcast channels, creating another way to add a spooky vibe to your messages. You can also utilize Meta’s AI tools to generate any other background you desire.
Additionally, Instagram is introducing five custom “Add Yours” templates for Stories to encourage interaction during the Halloween season. These templates prompt viewers to share Halloween-themed images, respond to themed questions, and more. Access these new templates in the “Happy Halloween” section of the “Add Yours Templates” Discovery Surface in Stories.
But wait, there’s more! Instagram is also rolling out a new “Halloween” font and a text effect to add to your posts and stories for a festive touch.
While users can also generate Halloween-themed content using Meta AI, the idea of AI-generated images may not appeal to everyone. However, these new features are sure to get users into the Halloween spirit and provide brands with creative ways to enhance their Halloween-themed posts.
These Halloween features are now live, so make sure to give them a try and add some spooky fun to your Instagram feed!
