Instagram is testing a new feature that allows users to ‘Comment on Stories Publicly’

Instagram launches a new feature every week for its users so that user engagement can increase further and this feature can attract more users, according to the sources Instagram is testing a new feature like this. And this feature is related to the ‘story’. So as it happens now, if you comment on someone’s story, then only the person whose profile it is can see the comments, but Instagram is testing to make this comment feature public.

This means that whatever comments are made on the stories should be made public so that other users can also read them. As soon as this feature is released, you can use it by updating your Instagram application from Playstore or AppStore.

How do you comment on stories publicly?

According to sources, once this feature is released, you will be able to use the Comment ok Stories feature by simply following these steps:

1. Open a story of any of your friends.
2. Comment on the story.
3. Your comment will be public.

Instagram Story Comments Feature: Review

Instagram story comments feature is not good for many users, because according to this feature, if anyone comments, that comment will be shown publicly, most users on Instagram use a private account or use Instagram normally, and the story reply feature was already available on Instagram, in which the reply was sent privately to the person posting the story through a message, to which he could reply in chat.

And if a person has to comment, he could comment publicly on the post or reel, so this new feature is not going to be that useful for many people.
