Instagram Stories will allow comments soon

Instagram is enhancing the user experience by introducing a new feature that allows users to leave comments on Instagram Stories. These Stories have become increasingly popular, with many users preferring them over traditional posts nowadays.

About the New Feature

Previously, responding to an Instagram Story would result in a private message visible only to the content creator. The addition of comments allows for a more public interaction with Stories. However, commenting is limited to followers of the poster and those who the poster follows back.

Temporary Comments

Just like Stories, comments on Instagram Stories are temporary and will only last for up to 24 hours. Users have the option to toggle comments on or off for any Story they share.

Further Enhancements

Instagram has been consistently adding new features to platforms like Reels and Stories, indicating a focus on enhancing user engagement with friends rather than just passive content consumption.

Disappearing Notes

This summer, Instagram introduced disappearing “notes” on grid posts and Reels, aiming to highlight how friends engage with content. These notes expire after three days and can be shared with mutual follows or a selected group of close friends.

Additionally, Instagram announced that likes on posts will now appear as floating hearts, similar to the disappearing notes.

Conclusion

Instagram’s latest updates to Stories and posts demonstrate a commitment to improving user interactions and engagement within the platform.
