Stickers make it possible for your audience to interact with your stories and adverts to a greater degree than ordinary posts. We recommend four stickers for this purpose: polls, questions, GIFs, and emoji sliders.

Polls help build customer engagement by getting them to participate in a subject. They can also be leveraged to get your audience to create and drive your stories by voting for what they want to see next.

Questions work in a similar one, but they prompt users to share more and offer their honest opinions. While GIFs and emoji sliders make your posts more fun and attract more active attention to your stories.
