Meta Rolls Out ‘Restyle’ AI Editing Inside Instagram Stories

The update makes prompt-driven photo and video changes a native Stories feature for easier creation.

Overview

  • Users open Restyle from the paintbrush icon in the Stories composer, then choose add, remove, or change and enter a text prompt.
  • Photos support prompt edits plus preset styles such as anime, watercolor, and 8-bit, while videos get AI effects including snow, underwater, porcelain, and golden hour.
  • Restyle Text, which generates custom fonts from prompts, is testing with a small group ahead of broader availability.
  • The rollout covers the U.S., India, Pakistan, South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Australia, Ghana, Uganda, Singapore, Zambia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Malawi, and Canada.
  • Using Meta AI requires accepting terms that permit analysis of uploaded media and facial features, and an optional sticker lets friends apply the same edits to their own posts.
