– Capture a photo or choose one from your camera roll.
– Tap on the Story icon located at the top of the screen to initiate editing.

– Select a backdrop for your story from the available options.
– Instagram will then analyse the image including its background and subjects.
– Users can fine-tune the selection by choosing or deselecting areas they wish to exclude.
– Enter your prompt for the backdrop in English
– Select your desired option and click ‘Next’ to proceed.
– The background of the image will display a checkered pattern, similar to popular photo editing software like Photoshop. After that, a text box will appear asking the users to describe the backdrop they want.
– You can select the desired backdrop.
– When the picture is ready, simply tap on the ‘Your Story’ option.
While AI is being used everywhere, it is quite important to ensure that AI-generated pictures are not misused. Apart from that, it is also important to be mindful of what information you are giving to the AI.
