Instagram adds geostickers to Stories

Instagram Stories has added geostickers, a new feature identical in format and name to Snapchat's geostickers feature.

Instagram has added another feature similar to that of rival Snapchat; the ability to tag images and videos within Instagram Stories with geostickers, as reported in an article from Gadgets 360.

Snapchat originally introduced its own geostickers feature back in August, and it seems that Instagram has effectively copied all aspects of Snapchat’s geostickers (name included) for their own Snapchat-like Stories feature.

Speaking about the new feature in a blog post, Instagram said:

"Today, we're introducing an early version of geostickers in Instagram Stories for New York City and Jakarta. Since introducing stickers in December, we've loved seeing how you've used them to bring your stories to life - from hats to Valentine's Day fun to customizable location stickers. Now, with more than a dozen new stickers each for New York City and Jakarta, you have another creative option for adding context to your everyday moments."
