Instagram is introducing a new feature that allows users to reflect on the past year by creating a collage of their favorite moments. This feature, available through the first week of January, simplifies the process of sharing a curated collection of memorable images in one story. Previously, users had to manually resize and arrange images or use the layout feature for grid-based collages. The new update streamlines this, offering a more dynamic and personalized way to showcase special moments.

Along with the collage tool, Instagram is launching several temporary updates for the year-end season. These include “Add Yours” templates that allow users to create story prompts and encourage friends to join in with their own posts. Festive features like “New Year” and “Countdown” text effects are also being introduced to celebrate the arrival of 2024.
Additionally, Instagram has added holiday-themed chat backgrounds for direct messages and fun secret phrases such as “Happy New Year,” which trigger unique effects in DMs and notes, adding a festive touch to interactions on the platform.
