Artificial intelligence came to Instagram story

Instagram's new feature makes users' stories more attractive by using artificial intelligence. Read on for new details of this Instagram feature.

With the ever-increasing development of artificial intelligence, productive tools based on artificial intelligence, which, ironically, are not difficult to use even for the general public, have entered daily affairs more than ever. One of the examples should be considered the new feature of Instagram, which you can use during the day to post a story. This feature, called Backdrop, generates a new image for the background of the story according to the user's description.

Ability to create background for Instagram story with artificial intelligence

“Ahmad Al-Dahle”, the director of Instagram's artificial intelligence department, recently introduced this new feature on Twitter and shared a short tutorial video.

The Backdrop icon appears on the top of the screen when you upload a photo in the story section or take a photo with your phone's camera. This icon, which is in the form of a rectangular frame with a dummy, is located next to icons such as text and music. Tapping on it removes the background of the uploaded photo, and the user then has to describe exactly what background they want for their photo.

Of course, Instagram displays stories that have been edited in this way with the special tag “AI·Backdrop by Instagram”. It also shows a sticker to other users to encourage them to use this feature to edit their stories.

The ability to create backgrounds for stories with artificial intelligence is now available to Instagram users in the United States. In mid-December, Instagram's development team introduced 28 AI-based characters in all its apps, including Instagram, for American users, and even made it possible to use the Bing search engine.
