Instagram’s Latest Update: Story Comments Are Here and We’re Lowkey Obsessed

September 4, 2024

Alright, Insta fam, get ready to spice up your Story game! Instagram just dropped a fire new feature, and it’s about to change the way we vibe with each other on the ‘Gram. You know how we already slide into DMs and react with emojis to Stories? Well, now you can go even further by commenting directly on each other’s Stories. Yep, you heard that right—now your Stories are about to get as interactive as your favorite livestreams.

Imagine this: You post a killer Story, and instead of just getting those quick reactions, your followers can now hit you up with comments right there on the Story. It’s like leveling up the conversation from quick emojis to full-on chats. Think about it as a way to keep the convo going, making Stories less of a passive experience and more of a back-and-forth that keeps everyone looped in.

But wait, there’s more. If you’re more of a “nah, I like my peace” type, you can totally turn this feature off. Instagram’s got your back with the option to keep your Stories comment-free if that’s more your vibe.

And ICYMI, Instagram is basically the place for following brands and influencers—like 9 out of 10 of us follow at least one brand. From sponsored posts to influencer collabs and those irresistible shopping tags, Instagram is already a marketer’s playground. But influencers aren’t stopping there. They’re also using Broadcast Channels—a super cool tool that lets them blast messages to their followers all at once without sliding into everyone’s DMs individually. It’s like a megaphone for their best content, and trust us, it’s lit.
