Instagram has launched a fresh update that enables users to comment directly on Stories. This new feature encourages public discussions and increases user engagement, taking interaction beyond likes and private messages.


How It Works
With this update, users can now comment on a Story by simply tapping a comment icon that appears on the screen. These comments will be visible in a dedicated section, turning Stories into a more interactive platform for conversation.
Control Settings
To manage interactions, users can adjust who can comment on their Stories. By default, only mutual followers can leave comments, but there is an option to allow all followers to participate by adjusting settings. Additionally, users have the ability to disable comments for specific stories or for all future Stories.
Making Stories More Interactive
This feature transforms Stories from a passive viewing experience into an interactive space. Whether it’s a funny moment, a behind-the-scenes look, or a thought-provoking question, users can now engage in discussions directly within Stories, creating real-time conversations and deeper engagement.
