Instagram experimenting new tool allowing creators to highlight comments in stories
As per reports, Instagram is testing a new feature that allows creators to highlight significant comments in their Stories. . Creators can select a comment, swipe on it, and tap the "Add to story" icon to use the feature. The highlighted comment will then appear in the Stories feed with the original post. The feature is currently available for public accounts, allowing them to share comments from any public feed post or Reels directly to their Stories.
Instagram's head, Adam Mosseri, announced the testing phase via a post on the "IG updates" channel (users have to subscribe to the broadcast, and then can view the messages from the DMs inbox).
There is no information yet about when this feature will be widely available or the scope of the current test, but it shouldn't take long. The platform was testing the possibility of disabling the 'Seen' status in DMs, in addition to the recent improvements to Reels with new Collab features and interactive challenges.
