Instagram is reportedly experimenting a new capability for the recently introduced Restyle feature that allows you to add, remove, or change elements in an image or video with a text prompt.
According to a Mashable report, the Meta-owned social media platform is planning to add custom text to the Restyle feature, as the company has begun testing the feature with a small group of users. The Restyle feature will allow users to generate custom fonts based on natural language prompts.
Users are expected to get a couple of built-in presets for the feature, such as Chrome and Balloon. You can also write a text prompt to generate unique and quirky styles.
Powered by Meta AI, the feature is currently available in Stories and within the Edits app. It offers users a similar level of inline editing as the Nano Banana.
It should be noted that Instagram has yet to officially announce the update for its Restyle feature.
How to restyle Instagram Stories
- Tap on the '+' on your profile photo to choose an image from your camera roll to add to your story.
- Once you have selected the photo, click on the 'restyle' icon.
- Select 'Add', 'Remove', or 'Change', describing what you want to edit.
- Typing within the prompt bar at the bottom, edit the text you desire.
- Scrolling to choose one of the preset effects above the prompt bar.
- Clicking on the browser icon in the bottom right for even more preset effect options.

Meta aims to continuously provide an advanced experience to its users while using social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
