Instagram Adds New Comment Reply Option, Tests Star Sign-Related Stickers
Instagram’s testing a new way to interact with post replies, while it’s also experimenting with an interactive star-sign based sticker, in order to facilitate more engagement.
First off, after experimenting with the feature over the last few months, Instagram is now live testing the capacity to share comments from any public post or Reel to your IG story.
As you can see in this example, for those in the test, when you swipe left on a comment, you’ll see a new option to share it in your story. The comment will then be featured in a new sticker type, which you can place anywhere within the story frame.
It’s pretty much the same as TikTok’s video comment replies option, which it added back in 2020, while YouTube also has Shorts comment replies, which it expanded to all public comments (in addition to comments on your own clips) back in June.
