Instagram will now let you add text to your photos right from the post editor, meaning you won't need to edit your photos in a separate app just to add some text. A bit of text might help your post stand out from the rest of the photos on your feed - or help people see information that might otherwise get lost in your caption.
From the post editor, you'll also now be able to layer another photo on top of a photo as a sticker. When you tap on that layered photo, you can change its shape from a rectangle to a square, circle, heart, or star, according to Instagram's blog post. This feature seems fun to me - I suspect people will find some clever ways to use this in their photos.
Reels and stories are getting some text improvements, too....
