Instagram Introduces 'Type' Mode in Stories [Video]

Instagram today introduced a 'Type' mode in stories that lets users share with creative text styles and backgrounds, no photo or video required.

When you open the camera, you’ll see “Type” next to “Normal” under the record button. Tap “Type” and write whatever comes to mind — your favorite lyrics, a silly thought or a random idea — and play with different styles to change the look and feel. Then, you can pick different background colors, highlight words and phrases or add a background photo.




You can also use the new styles when adding text to any photo or video. As with everything else you share to stories, it’ll disappear after 24 hours.

You can download Instagram from the App Store for free.
