Instagram has just rolled out a new automatic captioning feature for Stories. Good news: it does not censor the phrase "Asian women."
Rolled out to users on Tuesday, Instagram had been testing the new accessibility feature since at least March. To use it, you simply have to record a Story (or select a video from your camera roll), hit the Stickers icon, then select the Captions sticker. Instagram will then automatically transcribe your audio, displaying it in animated text across your screen.
