They’ll soon be adding undo and redo buttons. “In addition, we’re adding 10 new English text-to-speech voices, which you can choose from in select countries,” the company said. They’re also adding a few new fonts with optional outlines for better readability.
One of the more fun bits of news is that Instagram is testing the ability to create custom stickers from your own photos and videos in your camera roll or from photos and videos you see on Instagram. The company says this feature is based on its Segment Anything AI model, though there's no word yet on how it will be used.
Some of the changes include improved preview views, faster access to audio in Reels, and more data for creators. Regarding the latter, Instagram says: In the coming months, creators will have the ability to see how many people are watching their Reel at any given time.
