Instagram has rolled out a new feature that lets users celebrate their favorite moments from 2024 with creative collages in Stories. This easy-to-use tool lets you compile photos, customize layouts, and add New Year-themed text to share highlights of your year.

How the 2024 Collage Feature Works

The new collage option, available until the first week of January 2025, allows you to:

• Select multiple photos.
• Arrange them freely on the screen.
• Add fun New Year text, including options like:

1. How 2024 Started
2. How 2024 Ended
3. HNY (Happy New Year)

Once your collage is ready, share it to Instagram Stories for your friends and followers to enjoy. It’s a great way to reflect on your year and ring in the new one.

Year-End "Add Yours" Templates

Instagram is also introducing special templates for the Add Yours feature in Stories. These templates let you post your year-end collage and invite others to create and share their own. It’s a fun way to get your friends and followers involved as everyone shares their highlights from 2024.

Festive New Year Features

To add even more celebration to the platform, Instagram is rolling out holiday-themed updates:

• Countdown and New Year Text Effects: Stylish fonts and fun text effects for Stories.
• Holiday Themes for DMs: New festive themes to brighten up your chats.
• Secret Phrases for Special Effects: Typing phrases like "Happy New Year" or "Hello 2025" in DMs and Notes will trigger fun visual effects on your screen.

Tools for Creators

Instagram’s recent updates also include exciting tools for creators:
Trial Reels
Creators can now test experimental reels by sharing them exclusively with non-followers. After 24 hours, performance insights like views, likes, and shares help creators see what works before sharing content more widely.
Broadcast Channel Updates
For creators managing broadcast channels, Instagram now allows:

• Meaningful replies to messages from followers.
• More interactive engagement through daily check-ins and timed prompts.

Instagram’s new collage tool, festive Add Yours templates, and interactive effects make it easy to celebrate the end of 2024 and look forward to 2025. Whether you’re reflecting on highlights or engaging with your audience, these features ensure a fun and festive experience.
