Instagram’s New Featureย
After introducing Private Story Likes, Instagram is seen testing yet another feature for responding to stories โ through a voice message.
Support for this feature was spotted by Alessandro Paluzzi, a developer who shared screenshots supporting the claim. In that, a new mic option for recording and sending a voice message was set in just beside the private story like of a story. Since itโs being tested, Instagram may or may not bring it to the stable version.
