Why is Valentine’s Day celebrated?
St. Valentine is believed to have been a third-century Roman priest who secretly married young couples, against the orders of Emperor Claudius II. For this reason he was arrested and on 14 February he was given death sentence. Over time these traditions merged and February 14 came to be celebrated as a symbol of love and romance.
New Valentine-themed features for Stories and Reels
Instagram has added special Valentine-themed text elements and animations to Stories and Reels. Users can now use new romantic fonts and effects in their photos and videos, making their content look more attractive. Apart from this, users can frame their selfie and convert it into a sticker and then share it in Stories. This will make customizing stories even easier and more fun.
