The new feature, which makes comments visible only to users who follow the story creator, allows individuals to control the posting of comments via an option that can be disabled.

Instagram said the tool aims to boost user engagement through more interactive community experiences.

Previously, responses to Stories were sent via private message only to the person who posted the content.

Now, the addition of comments provides a more public way to interact with stories. However, the ability to comment is more limited; only people who follow the publisher and who the publisher follows will be able to leave a comment.

As with Stories, comments are temporary and will last for up to 24 hours.

Instagram spokeswoman Emily Norfolk said users will have the option to turn comments on or off on any story they share.
