Instagram is rolling out a new comments feature for Stories, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday. With the new feature, users will be able to leave comments on Instagram Stories that will be publicly visible for a limited duration. This development builds upon recent feature rollouts on the social media platform. This includes new fonts and text animations, and the launch of the Instagram Creator Lab in India with support for English and Hindi.
Comments on Instagram Stories
In a post on the Meta Channel, Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Instagram Stories is getting the comments feature. They appear similar to comments on Instagram posts. As per the platform, the comments will follow the same time limit as stories. They will disappear within 24 hours. However, it is unclear if users will be able to archive them. Previously, Instagram allowed users to reply to stories. But they were sent privately to the uploader. On the other hand, comments on stories will be publicly visible, depending on the visibility settings set by the user.
The addition of comments on Instagram Stories is the latest in a series of features that Instagram has rolled out in recent months. The social media platform’s head Adam Mosseri previously revealed that Instagram will prioritize short-form content over long videos.
Other Instagram Features
Last month, Instagram rolled out new fonts, text animations and the ability to add stickers to photos on Instagram Reels and stories. Users can also add layer images via stickers on the aforementioned formats. It also expanded the carousel limit to 20 photos or videos. This eliminates the need to split media collections into multiple posts. Another notable feature that Instagram recently introduced is a ‘song on profile‘. This allows users to add a song to their profile that best matches their mood or other preferences.
