This update aims to increase engagement and make the platform more community-driven.
Instagram has introduced a new feature that enables followers to comment on each other’s Stories. This update is designed to increase engagement and make the platform more community-driven. Users can choose to disable public comments if they prefer to keep their Stories more private.
This new feature is part of Instagram’s efforts to enhance interaction within Stories. The platform has observed that Stories are more popular than main feed posts, and private messaging is a favored way to connect. Instagram has also introduced other features, such as music on profiles and a “Reveal” feature, to increase engagement.
The update is influenced by feedback from younger users, particularly Gen Z, who are shifting away from curated posts and leaning towards interactive content. Instagram has also expanded its carousel post limit and added new tools to enhance Stories, Reels, and posts.
