Still drawing inspiration from TikTok, which has offered voice synthesis since 2020, Instagram announced the addition of 10 voices to choose from, in English, enabling this service. To improve the readability of the text, the social network offers six new options and new outlines to make it stand out.
It’s also becoming easier to add audio to Reels, with Instagram offering quicker access to the audio page from the Photo Library.
Instagram also offers something new regarding draft reels, with a simplified presentation designed to facilitate their viewing and modification. It will now be possible to preview them, rename them and schedule them.
Finally, Instagram is testing new ways to create personalized stickers, using your photos and videos or content found on the network. This new feature will work thanks to Meta Segment Anything’s artificial intelligence model.

More analysis tools
In the analytical segment, the social network now offers more analysis data. In particular, it will be possible to know the number of times content has been “reviewed”, in addition to the number of “initial readings”. The new measurement will appear in the “Plays” section, which will now offer “Replays” in addition to “Initial Plays”.
