Instagram is testing on some users the function to insert open questions within the Stories, here’s how it works and how to use us too
For quite some time now Instagram has increased user interaction within the Stories. For example, we can make a survey with two answers or insert an interactive emoji that our followers can touch to indicate the liking or disliking of our photo.
With the new update of the famous social media for photos, however, we can post a story by inserting a question open to our followers, who can answer without limit of keystrokes. Basically Instagram has added a new feature in the Stories that allows you to enter questions of any kind and see the answers that give us our followers. Of course, we will also be able to respond to the Stories with questions that we display among our followers or in the Explore section. For the moment, the new feature is in the testing phase and can only be used by some users but soon it will be released for all Instagram subscribers.
How to ask questions on Instagram Stories
Inserting a question on Instagram works more or less like inserting a survey or an interactive emoji. To do so, therefore, we open the Stories section on the social media, located in the upper left corner of the home page, and take the photo or write the colorful post that we want to publish. After that, tap on the icon that indicates a sticky face, located at the top between the pen symbol that is used to write text and between the icon to download the photo to the gallery of our smartphone. Once we press on the sticker face icon we’ll find several options: survey, GIF, Emoji and also Question, in addition to the other classic stickers. We press on Question and type the text we want our contacts to see. To then see the answers we just have to scroll up with our finger inside the photo of our Story.
If we still do not see this feature on our application it is possible that our profile has not been chosen for this first test phase. Once the feature will be released for everyone to have it on our phone we will have to update Instagram. To do this we just have to take the smartphone and go to the App Store if we have an iPhone or Google Play Store if we have an Android. Once we reach the section dedicated to the social media we click on the item update, wait for the process to be finished and that’s it, we will have Instagram Stories with open questions.
