Instagram tests questions in Stories for Longer questions
Instagram has been incredibly busy of late, announcing IGTV a platform like Youtube, Instagram Lite and a slate of features including Stories Soundtracks a new update. But the Facebook owned photo sharing service Instagram doesn’t show any signs of letting up.
Android system Police today noted that Instagram is testing a new feature that allow users to post questions to their followers and receive answers about the question.
Instagram already offers the ability to publish polls to followers with multiple choice options for answering with 2 choice. But this test seems to point toward the option to offer longer responses to user’s questions.
One user in Indonesia sent a screenshot of the feature in to Android Police, and a user in Spain also spotted the feature. That said, we still have very little information on just how this mighty work.
Right now, when a user posts to their Story, their followers can respond any question via DM. With more open ended questions and responses, it’s unclear that if responses will still come in via DM or be bundled together as part of the story or any other way.
The latter seems more in keeping with Instagram’s push to make Stories as interactive as possible and user friendly. The open-ended question could serve as jumping off point for a collaborative story comprised of everyone’s responses.
That said, this feature doesn't confirmed by Instagram or instagram Team, though we’ve reached out and will update the post when we learn more and inform after that.
