Instagram rolling out new likes feature for Stories
Social networking platform Instagram has launched a new feature, Private Story Likes, which will let users like somebody's Insta Story without sending them a DM.
Previously, responses sent to someone on a Story, whether an emoji or a full-on message, showed up as a response in their DM inbox. However, now with this new feature, users can show appreciation for a Story without clogging up the other person's DMs, as per The Verge.
"So now, as you go through Stories, between send message and that little paper airplane, there will be a heart icon. And if you tap on it, it'll send the author of that story a like, and that like will show up in the viewer sheet, not in your DM thread with them," Instagram head Adam Mosseri said in a video.
