Did you know that you can use Superzoom on your Instagram stories? The Instagram Superzooms arrived to give a touch of creativity to our ephemeral content.
Although it is true that we use Instagram Stories filters more now , it was at the end of 2017 when 3 superzooms arrived on Instagram and we got hooked on them.
Those first superzooms with 3 effects were called Bounce, Beats and TV Show. A year later, the effects were extended to the current 10.
Here I explain what are the Instagram superzooms and how to activate them.

1- What are Instagram Superzooms
Instagram Superzooms are effects with filters and sounds that zoom in and/or zoom out on the Instagram Story image.
They can be a lot of fun if you know how to use them in the best situations. Do not forget about them and differentiate yourself from other Instagram accounts.

- Hearts: slow zoom inwhere hearts appear and the image is filled with pinkish colors. The music that plays in the background is sexy, like seducing your followers.

4- Don’t you see the superzooms of Instagram Stories?
If you’re having trouble using superzooms on Instagram Stories because they don’t appear, there’s only one option left: wait.
Instagram is an application that is adding new functions in a scaled way. Just as other social networks offer news to all of us on the same day, Instagram does not.
Personally, it has happened to me that until a few weeks ago I did not have access to long IGTV videos and to add music to my stories with the music sticker.
There is nothing you can do but wait until the social network wants to remember you and activate superzooms in your Instagram Stories.
