Instagram’s stories have been a resounding success, taking a lot of steam out of Snapchat and making it quite difficult for the social media platform to maintain a hold over a feature that it actually invented. In order to cement the success of this feature on its platform, Instagram has started making a lot of updates that are designed to optimize the stories feature and make it a much more attractive proposition for the various people that are currently using Instagram at this point in time all in all.
A new update, according to an app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, that is coming to Instagram stories means that you would be able to reply to stories with a gif, a functionality that was not present on the platform before this point in time. This feature is currently being tested out so it is not currently certain when we would be able to make use of it, but chances are that it will be quite soon. This will expand the range of features that people can use in order to communicate with one another on Instagram, giving you a lot more control over what you say and how you say it to the people that you follow as well as those who follow you.
Another feature that Instagram is currently testing out will involve expanding the potential of its user interface. This is being referred to as the Explore Peek UI which will help make it easier for users to get the kind of experience that they want from the platform all in all.
All of these updates indicate that Instagram continues to strive for the success of its social media platform, and so far it seems like all of the updates are being quite well received. The gif reply update in particular is being praised for broadening the communication potential that Instagram currently has.
