  • Instagram gets caught working on new feature.
  • Famous app developer spots feature that allows replying to stories with voice notes.
  • Instagram is yet to disclose details regarding any such developments.


Instagram is reportedly developing a feature where users will be able to reply to stories with images and voice messages, said Gadgets360.

Currently, a story on Instagram can only be replied with text, a GIF, or the eight available reactions. Recently, a story-liking feature was also added which notifies the user instead of sliding into their direct messages (DMs).

The feature was spotted by a famous app developer Alessandro Paluzzi. He noticed an image icon and a microphone icon.

The developer then took a screenshot and posted it on his Twitter feed. It is not clear whether the feature was available on Android or iOS.
