Although Instagram Reels has been popular lately, stories are still among the important features of the platform. Constantly coming up with innovations, Instagram has started to experiment with a new reaction feature for stories. This user reaction is actually among the most basic Instagram features.
Instagram is experimenting with a classic reaction feature for stories
The social media platform Instagram has started experimenting with the like button for stories. Likes, which are among the main features of the platform, have so far included IGTV and posts.
So far, users can react with emojis for Instagram stories. However, the platform obviously did not forget the users who just wanted to express their appreciation.

Alessondro Paluzzi made a major leak about the stories likes feature
Social media applications researcher Alessandro Paluzzi shared a screenshot of this experiment on his Twitter account. However, this screenshot does not provide much information, except that the like button is tried for Instagram stories.
So how will the platform use the like button for the stories feature? In order to like the posts, you need to click twice. Stories, on the other hand, work on one click. Just click left for the previous story of the person, and right click to go to another story. There is also the possibility that the likes of the stories can be sent via dm by sending a message, just like emoji reactions.
The social media platform took the stories feature from Snapchat, one of its biggest rivals for a while. Along with the stories, Snapchat also brought the filters to Instagram in a short time. This important change caused Snapchat to lose a large user base, especially in our country.
Finally, Instagram came up with the subtitle support feature for stories. Again, instead of the social media platform IGTV, he decided to continue on his way with Instagram Videos. Thus, the platform will provide easier access to videos.
The social media platform has also started trials in Brazil for the chosen people feature such as close friends. The platform has made major changes, especially in 2021. Instagram, which highlights Shopping and Reels and carries the likes at the top, drew the reaction of some users.
Despite all these positive changes in Instagram, the interruption on October 4 left a negative impact on users. The possibility that this outage, which affected platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, was a hack attack at first was in the first place. However, Facebook has ruled out this possibility in its latest statement.
