Instagram users can now create a collage in their Stories to showcase their highlights of the year. These end-of-year themed collages allow users to reflect on the past 12 months. In addition, five new New Year's-themed“Add Yours” templates are available in the“End of Year” section of the“Add Yours Discovery” surface, allowing friends to participate in the recapping of 2024.
