Instagram tests out stop-motion camera in Stories

After taking tons of cues (or basically copying Snapchat, we should say), Instagram is turning to its more creative tools to keep its users engaged within its Stories feature. Joining the recently launched Superzoom tool, Instagram is trying out what it calls Stop Motion. This lets the Instagram Story camera take a long series of photos that the app stitches into a GIF you can post on the service. It won’t let you edit individual images but once its done recording, you can add things like text and stickers as you would your other stories. At the moment though, this isn’t available to all users and we can’t say if Instagram will roll this outside of testing. If you do have access to it, let us know what you think.
