What’s happened? Meta has integrated its AI-powered image and video editing tools directly into Instagram Stories.
- In its announcement, Instagram explains users can now access the tools via the new Restyle option in the Stories editor.
- This option lets users add, remove, or change images using a text prompt.
- For videos, the Restyle menu offers Presets that let users transform their outfit or apply a stylistic effect.
- Instagram has also introduced an “Add Yours” sticker that will allow users to share their edits with others.
Why is this important? By adding these tools to the Stories editor, Meta has made them more accessible and intuitive to use.
- Previously, the AI editing tools were only available through the Meta AI chatbot.
- The new setup streamlines the editing process, letting users quickly make changes or copy another user’s edits before sharing a story.
Why should I care? This update makes editing photos or videos with Meta’s AI-powered tools simpler and faster.
- You can now modify your photos and videos by simply describing the desired changes or selecting a preset right in the Stories editor.
- The new method is not only simpler but also helps you save time.
- With the new sticker, you can help your friends copy your edits or apply the same effects with just a few taps.
What’s next? You can try Instagram’s new AI editing workflow by tapping the + icon, selecting a photo or video, and tapping the new restyle icon in the top bar. You can share the edited photos and videos as a story or directly in DMs.
