Say Hello to Creative Backgrounds
Instagram’s latest feature lets you change your story backgrounds with just a few words. Think of saying “On a red carpet” or “Being chased by dinosaurs,” and bam! Your background transforms accordingly. ππ
Easy and Fun to Use
Here’s how it works: tap on the background editor icon in Stories, and you’ll see some fun prompts ready to go. But hey, if you’re feeling creative, you can even type in your own ideas. π¨ποΈ
Share the Magic
Post a story with your cool new background, and others can join in too. They’ll see a “Try it” sticker with your prompt, making it super easy for friends to dive into the AI magic as well. π€³π₯

This isn’t just a one-off thing. Meta (that’s Instagram’s parent company) is really leaning into AI. They’ve been adding AI features across Instagram and Snapchat, like Snapchat’s tool for its paying users to send AI-generated images. ππ
More Than Just Fun
Meta’s AI push includes 28 AI characters across its apps and even a standalone image generator called Imagine with Meta. It’s all powered by their own model, Emu, showing how serious they are about AI. ππ€
