Public policy and community outreach manager of Instagram and Facebook India Tara Bedi made the announcement on her Instagram profile. Instagram worked alongside Hala AlAbbasi, an illustrator from Bahrain, to design the three stickers for the festival. “Hala hopes that her stickers will be used throughout Ramadan to mark moments of celebration, from greetings to special suhoors and iftars, all the way to celebrating Eid”, wrote Bedi in her post.
The three stickers display iftar food, the moon and a mosque. Instagram has also put out the stickers under ‘Featured’ so that they appear on top among stickers. The stickers would also be seen through a multi-author story on the social media platform.
