One of Instagram stories newest interactive features is the challenges sticker.
Challenges let users participate in group trends by attaching a sticker to their Instagram post and getting in on hashtag-based actions, such as #StayAtHome. You can also create your own challenges around fashion, workout, bingo, food, and more, before encouraging your friends to join and seeing how popular your challenge becomes.
Keep in mind that when you do a challenge through the Instagram mobile app, anyone who can see your story will be able to tap the username of the person you've tagged and navigate to their profile.
If you want to get involved, or you want to use the feature to create your own challenges, here's how to do it.
