  • 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.
