We recently reported that Facebook will start adding interactive elements to video content<\/a>, and it seems that Instagram is also going to start doing something similar. Passively consuming content from social media can have an adverse effect on a person\u2019s wellbeing, so Facebook believes drawing users in and making them active participants in the content will have a positive impact.<\/p>\n

Instagram has seen a lot of innovation recently<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Android Police reports<\/a> that the interactive elements will come via a new questions feature in Instagram Stories. Yes\/no polls have been a part of Instagram Stories for some time now, but according to the report Instagram is testing open ended-questions. Rather than just clicking to answer, users will be able to type out custom responses to the questions posed.<\/p>\n

Instagram has recently rolled out a brand new app, IGTV<\/a>, for long-form video content, and Instagram Lite<\/a> for use on older or slower smartphones. That isn\u2019t all, the Stories feature also received a pretty massive update with the addition of music stickers that play officially licensed music<\/a> from the world\u2019s top acts. This newest addition would fit into a recent trend of Instagram innovation that has seen the app break through 1 billion active monthly users.<\/p>\n

These interactive questions are still very much in a test phase, and Instagram is yet to comment officially on their implementation. They haven\u2019t rolled out around the world yet, and they may see some changes before they’re released to a wider audience. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
