For avid Instagrammers out there who love recording Instagram Stories and using the various special effects of the app, you’ll be pleased to learn that Instagram has recently updated its app to include additional new features, or rather two new features to be exact. One of them is a superzoom feature and the other is a Halloween feature.Starting with the Halloween feature, which we guess is pretty obvious, this allows users to add various creepy/scary effects to their faces. According to Instagram “Whether you’re planning spooky activities with friends or just hanging out at home, get into the Halloween spirit by turning yourself into a zombie, transforming from a vampire into a flying bat or getting lost in a mysterious fog. You can also add Halloween stickers to your photos and videos as a final touch.”
As for the superzoom feature, this is also another no-brainer based on its name, but one novel aspect of it is that it adds suspenseful music for a bit of a fun effect. “When you open the camera, you’ll see “Superzoom” next to “Boomerang” under the record button. Tap “Superzoom” and then tap record to automatically zoom in with suspenseful music.”
Instagram seems to be on a roll these days when it comes to adding new features to its app. For example just this month we were treated to features like poll stickers, and a few days ago Instagram also allowed friends to go on Instagram Live together which should result in some pretty fun collaborations.
