How to use GIF stickers on Instagram Stories

Since the acquisition by Facebook, Instagram has evolved so much with a bunch of features that have been appreciated by millennials. Recently, the photo-sharing app Instagram has collaborated with the Giphy to roll out GIF stickers a part of the Stickers tab in Instagram Stories.

The GIF stickers will be available as part of version 29 on Android and iOS. The company is set to roll out another update in the upcoming days where users can upload photos and videos "of any size" into a story. This is similar to custom size posts on the traditional Instagram feed, where you can pinch to zoom out and share the content in its original dimensions.

The GIF test was initiated during November last year before the official roll out.
