You've Been Seeing Those "Add Yours" Chains... Now It's Your Turn to Play!
So, you've been scrolling through Instagram Stories lately, right? And you keep seeing these weird little threads popping up with prompts like "My happy place" or "What I'm currently obsessed with" followed by a bunch of people's photos and videos.
Intrigued? Bewildered? Don't worry, it's not a cult (at least, not as far as we know). It's the glorious world of Instagram's "Add Yours" sticker!
This little gem lets you create interactive story chains where your followers can jump in and contribute their own content based on your prompt. Think of it as a digital game of telephone, but way more interesting (because, let's face it, how many times can a sentence about a lost sock be funny?).

How to Become an "Add Yours" Mastermind
Ready to unleash your inner trendsetter and start your own Instagram chain? Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
1. Whip Up a Story (the Not-So-Scary Kind):
First things first, you gotta create a new Instagram Story. Just swipe right on the main Instagram screen or tap the little plus sign at the bottom.
2. Snazzy Content is Key (But Not Totally Necessary):
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Now, you can totally just throw up a blank background for your "Add Yours" prompt. But if you wanna spice things up, snap a pic, record a video, or unleash your inner Picasso with the drawing tools. It's all about setting the mood for your chain!
3. Sticker Time!

This is where the magic happens. Tap the sticker icon at the top of your screen (it looks like a smiley face with a folded corner). Now, scroll through the sticker options until you find the holy grail: The "Add Yours" sticker! It'll usually have a little camera icon next to it.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
4. Craft Your Epic Prompt:
Here's where you get to shine! Tap on the "Add Yours" sticker and unleash your creativity. Think of a question, a challenge, or a prompt that will get people excited to add their own spin. Funny prompts are always a win. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- My current karaoke disaster zone (song included!)
- What's keeping me sane right now (besides Instagram, of course)
- The view from my most-dreamt-about vacation spot (even if it's just my couch)
- Proof that I can (almost) adult (jury's still out on laundry)
5. Unleash the Chain Reaction!
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Once you're happy with your creation, hit that "Share Story" button and watch the magic happen! People who see your story can tap on the "Add Yours" sticker to add their own contribution to the chain. You can then tap on the sticker itself to see the ever-growing thread of responses!
Bonus Tip: Want to join an existing chain? Just tap on someone else's "Add Yours" sticker and you'll be whisked away to the glorious mess of that particular thread.
So there you have it! Now you're equipped to become a full-fledged "Add Yours" extraordinaire. Get out there, unleash your creativity, and start building some epic Instagram story chains! Remember, the funnier and more interesting your prompt, the wilder the responses will be. Happy "Adding Your-ing"!
