If you are a frequent user of the Instagram Story tool, you are probably looking for ways to increase user interaction with your Instagram Stories.
In addition to the subject of your Stories and the quality of the images you share, the use of Stickers in Instagram Stories has a huge impact on user interaction.
It is interesting to know that in recent Instagram updates, some very attractive stickers have been added to the Instagram Story section; for instance, you can share a photo and have users comment on it using text or an emoji through Stickers.
To add a Sticker to your Instagram Story, you need to follow the 3 steps that we will go through.
Teaching How to Add Stickers to Instagram Stories
As mentioned before, you’ll need to follow 3 steps in order to add a Sticker to an Instagram Story. These steps are:
Step 1) Choose an image or a 15-second long video clip for your Story!
The first step is to select a photo to share on the Instagram Story section.
Once you’ve selected the photo or video you intend on sharing, just log in to the Instagram application and enter the Story Sharing section via the Story Icon:
In this section, you can take a photo via the camera or select a photo from your gallery by swiping it up.
Step 2) Entering the Stickers section in Instagram Stories
Now that you have passed the first step, you have entered the second step in which you need to click the icon for Sticker selection in the Instagram Story section:
In this section, different stickers and emojis are shown to you (the emojis are the ones that are in your cell phone and might be different from the emojis in other users’ cell phones according to your cell phone brand).
But Instagram stickers are the same for all users and you can easily use them.
Step 3) Selecting a Sticker for it to be used in a Story
The third step is selecting the Sticker of your desire! In this section, just choose a Sticker according to your needs or taste:
Each sticker has its own use and in different situations, one or more of them will help you most.
Just click on the sticker you want and place it in an appropriate place within your Story.
We will discuss the use of each of these Stickers in the next section so that you can increase your page interaction in case you are intending to use Instagram to expand your profile page’s customers and followers.
A Note! Instagram Story Stickers are different for each user; in fact, some users may not have one or more of the Stickers based on Instagram algorithms.
Also, when Instagram adds a new Sticker to their application, that Story may not be available to users in a certain geographic area for an indefinite period of time and then made available to everyone after a while.
So if you don’t have access to some Story Stickers, it’s because of Instagram regulations and algorithms and there is no certain way to access them until a required period of time has passed.
If you are the administrator of an Instagram business profile page and use it to sell your products or services online, increasing user interaction is a critical factor.
In the past, user interaction was based on the number of Likes and Comments, but now user interaction is determined based on different sections of Instagram.
Stickers that encourage users to interact with your profile page have a significant impact on increasing user interaction as well as getting feedback from users and followers.
Keep in mind, though, that only some Stickers on Instagram encourage users to interact, while others only have a visual feature!
Of course, there are some Stickers that increase the awareness of your audience; for instance, you can use the location Sticker to let users know where a certain gathering or event is happening.
Anyway, they do not increase user interaction with your profile page. In this section, we want to take a look at 3 Stickers available in Instagram Stories that directly cause users to interact with your Instagram profile page:
1. The Emoji Slider Sticker Used to Assess How Interested Users are in Your Story
Many users want to know how much other users like the Stories they share after posting them, for instance, suppose you are a photographer showing your photos to users and followers through Instagram Stories.
Some users will tell you their opinions on your photos by replying to your Stories. But many users get bored by doing so or just might not bother!
The Emoji Slider Sticker is a Sticker that helps you know how much your users have liked your Story; it can show users interest on a scale of 0 to 100.
In fact, if users slide this Sticker to the end of the bar, it means that they have liked your post completely, and if they let go of the Sticker at the beginning of the bar, it means that have had no interest in your post.
The closer this Emoji is to the end of the bar, it means that users have liked your post more!
