A new Instagram update allows you to comment on stories publicly

Public instead of private: Stories can be commented on with a new Instagram update. The comments are visible to everyone who can also see the story.

Commenting is only permitted for people you follow and who also follow you. However, anyone can see the comments. When posting a story, you can choose whether you want to allow comments. After 24 hours, the story and its comments disappear into nirvana.

The new function will be rolled out with an update and will be made available gradually. Commenting on stories is not yet possible for me. <p

Feels just as comfortable in front of a gaming PC as she does in a hammock in the garden. Likes the Roman Empire, container ships and science fiction books. Focuses mostly on unearthing news stories about IT and smart products.
