Great news for reply guys: You can now leave comments on Instagram Stories

Instagram now allows users to leave public comments on Stories, giving users new ways to engage on the platform.

I come bearing exceptional news for reply guys. You can now leave comments on Instagram Stories.

Previously, reply guys had just three options to display their devastating thirst on a Story post: like the Story with a heart, react with an emoji (🔥), or respond with a private DM. They've been disadvantaged, begged, and down and out. How are they supposed to get a good response when there are only three ways to request one?

Thankfully, Instagram has their needs in mind. For private accounts, anyone the poster follows back can now leave comments. And for public accounts, anyone the poster follows can comment, whether or not they are followed back. The comments are just as temporary as the Stories themselves, but they are public, and users can preserve them when they save their story posts as highlights.

Beyond its dedication to reply guys, it makes sense that Instagram would add more features to Stories. Fewer and fewer people on their grids, and more users are gravitating towards Instagram Stories and Reels, so adding more ways to pull in engagement on Stories and Reels is probably a smart business move. The entire change encourages users to spend more time on the app.

The feature is still rolling out, so don't worry if you don't see it yet. If you do see it and want it turned off, you can do that by navigating to your settings and activity page, scrolling down to "how others can interact with you," clicking "comments," and turning the Stories setting on or off.
