  • When creating a story, tap the stickers icon, then tap on the Frames sticker.
  • This will open up your photo gallery, where you can select one image to be framed.
  • Once you select an image, you can also add a caption if you choose. It will automatically add the date and timestamp of when the photo was taken.
  • After you post your story, your friends and followers can shake their phones or tap the “shake to reveal” button to develop the image inside the frame.

Unhide Story With Reveal Sticker

With this sticker, you can post an image on a story that will stay hidden from your friends and followers. There will be a sticker on the blurred image “Message to reveal”. As soon as the followers tap on it, a DM will reach you though you won’t have to approve every DM for your story.

  • Once you select the Reveal sticker, you will be prompted to type a hint for friends about what they might find behind your blurred story.
  • You can tap the “Preview” icon in the bottom left-hand corner to see how your story will appear to friends.
  • Once you post your story, your friends will only be able to see your story content if they DM you, but don’t worry, you won’t need to approve every DM for your story to be revealed.
