Four screenshots of Instagram with new sticker features displayed on each.

Instagram has added a bunch of new features for Stories, offering users new ways to share posts, photos, and videos with their followers.

The latest additions to the app’s roster of tools include some that are interactive, like “Reveal”: a way to post a hidden, blurred story that will only reveal itself once a follower sends a DM. This could be a fun new way to connect with followers, but it’s unclear how many people will actually turn to using the sticker.

If you want to be one to try it out, here’s how to do it.
