There’s been a few changes to our social media recently, with each individual app making adjustments for their users.

Instagram introduced their story feature less than a year ago but they’re changing it up already.

The new update will change the way followers are allowed to respond to a person’s story.

Users will now be able to reply to a particular story whilst using the app, with a photo or video of their own.

A blog post from Instagram said:

Today’s update is just one of the ways we’re working to make Direct the best place to have fun, visual conversations with friends on Instagram.

When a friend replies to your story with a photo or a video, you’ll see it in your inbox and you can then tap to view it and also see a sticker of the original story that’s only visible to you.
