If you thought Instagram's new "Save" feature was pretty badass, just you wait.

It turns out bookmarking IG photos with the push of a button isn't the only shiny, new feature Instagram has up its sleeve.

The social media platform just launched another software update for Instagram Stories that has a bunch of tools that are perfect for stepping up your selfie-game during the holidays... or you know, stalking your ex on social media while you're bored during winter break.

If you're wondering what the latest update for Instagram's story feature entails, a spokesperson from Instagram just told Elite Daily the update has five new features that will allow you to get more creative with your stories.

Instagram Stories has a new contextual tool in the camera that lets you goes beyond the boring geotag by adding stickers to your photo that display things like the time, weather and location.

To access these stickers, all you have to do is open up the camera mode, tap on the smiley icon and customize the style of the stickers as you please.

If you're looking to add some captions to your stories to make them really stand out, the software update also has a new feature that lets you superimpose text right onto your photos.
