Love is not just in the air — it’s all over your feed too.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Instagram is rolling out limited-time features to help users celebrate in style.
From themed fonts to romantic chat designs, the platform is adding creative tools to make your Stories, Reels, Posts and DMs feel extra special.
Most of these features are available from February 12 to February 16, so users will need to act fast.
What’s New on Instagram for Valentine’s Week?
Instagram has introduced several love-themed updates to match the Valentine’s vibe.
You can now use special fonts, text effects and animations in Stories and Reels.
There are also themed stickers and selfie frames that let you turn your photos into custom stickers.
Some of the standout additions include:
Custom Story Mentions
You can tag your partner or even your “Galentine” using specially designed mention stickers.
Secret Comment Phrases
Certain words in Story comments will unlock hidden animations and themes.
Valentine’s DM Theme
You can switch your chats to a romantic Valentine’s-themed background.
Notes with Special Hints
Update your Notes with themed text and discover secret phrases that trigger fun effects.
These small creative touches are designed to make your posts feel more personal and festive.
Edits App Gets a Valentine Upgrade Too
Instagram’s companion editing app, Edits, is also joining the celebration.
Here’s what users can expect:
Valentine’s Day Fonts
New romantic fonts and text presets designed specifically for Reels.
Themed Sound Effects
Add harp music, heartbeat sounds and other romantic audio effects to your videos.
100x Speed Option
You can now speed up your Reels up to 100x for dramatic or playful effects.
Unlike the main Instagram features, some of the Edits updates may continue beyond Valentine’s week.
Limited-Time Fun — Don’t Miss Out
These updates are meant to add a fun and festive touch to your content.
Whether you are posting for your partner, your friends, or just celebrating self-love, Instagram is giving users more ways to stand out.
Since most features are available only for a few days, users who want to try them should explore the app before Valentine’s week ends.
This year, your feed might just look a little more romantic than usual.
