Connecting with fans is a massive part of being an artist but it can be hard to keep up with all of them – Instagram’s Chat Stickers hope to resolve that.

Social media is a great way to connect with the people who matter to you and when you’re an artist it can be an invaluable tool for having a relationship with your fans. Instagram’s new Chat Stickers make it easier than ever before to interact with your fans..

Add the new Chat Sticker into your Instagram Story and fans can click on it to join a group chat between all the others who clicked on it. You can use it to answer their questions, talk to them about something important, or just say “hello!”. It’s an easy way to connect with the people who want to connect without the struggle of trying to communicate to everyone personally.

As with all Instagram DM chats, the maximum number of people who can join is 32. As the chat creator you get to decide who joins to take part in the conversation. Once you’re done with the chat, simply select the information button and select “End Chat”

You can choose from a variety of custom stickers to start the ball rolling in the direction you want it to go. The stickers can be found right in the Sticker Tray when you create an Instagram Story.
