How to Use the Add Yours Sticker on Instagram Reels 2023

Instagram brings the Add Yours sticker to Reels. Here’s how to use it to increase your chances of starting a trend or going viral.

TikTok may be the king of short-form video, but Instagram Reels trail closely behind. And while there’s no comparing the two platforms, Instagram may just have a one-up on TikTok. Instagram Reels now have a fun, collaborative feature that TikTok doesn’t: the Add Yours sticker.

You know about it, and you’ve probably used it in your Instagram Stories. But you can now start trends by adding the sticker to your Reels. Stick around to learn how.

Instagram Allows You to Create Reels With the Add Yours Sticker

Instagram has added one more way to make your Reels more interesting: adding an Add Yours sticker. The addition was announced on Meta’s platforms and in an Instagram blog post on August 11, 2023, which reads:

With the Add Yours sticker, a creator or artist can invite their followers to join in on a fun prompt or challenge they create on Reels, and then hand-pick their favorite submissions to celebrate their fans’ creativity.

There are multiple reasons to love the Add Yours sticker on Instagram—the most obvious being its engagement potential. You’ve seen how Add Yours trends pick up in Stories. That’s because they’re quick and easy to jump onto. Now, you can enjoy the same benefits using the Add Yours sticker on Instagram Reels.

Instagram Reels are similar to TikTok’s Stitch feature, except that TikTok Stitches don’t come with stickers. Instead, creators “stitch” their video to yours, usually to add their two cents to the topic at hand. When they do that, viewers can watch both videos in one sitting to get both perspectives. It’s a great way to add context and collaborate without making viewers work too hard to find the original video.
