Instagram Introduced new Questions stickers - make it easy to get recommendations ....!!!

With the latest update on iOS and Android (The questions sticker is available as part of Instagram version 52 on iOS and Android) Instagram has finally released the Questions sticker it started testing last month. Now you can not only hold live Questions & Answers with your audience, you can also use the Questions to get recommendations on restaurants, music, or just about anything else you could want.

In order to use the feature, you can put the Question sticker on your Story, leaving an open slot in which users can ask you questions or give you responses to a question. To see their responses, you open the viewer list. You can only reply to each reaction you get by making a new Story.

You can find your friends’ responses in your story’s viewers list. Tap any question they’ve asked to create a new story where you can answer it, and the question you’re answering will appear on your story for context. Though you’re able to see who submitted each response in your viewers list where it’s private, when you share that response in your story, your friend’s photo and username will not be shown.

Along with the polling sticker and emoji slider, the questions sticker gives you another easy way to get closer with all of your friends on Instagram.

While the foremost use of this seems to be doing Question & Answers with followers — as displayed in the screenshots above — it also works as an out of the ordinary way to get recommendations on local landmarks or businesses. When combined with geofilters, it more or less functions the same way as Facebook’s requests for recommendations.

In fact, you can think of just about any number of uses for Questions when combined with Instagram’s other features. Playing music in your Story ? Ask your followers if they know of any similar bands. Going to see a movie ? Ask for quick, one-word reviews of current releases. Post a Story about what you’re wearing a get your followers to recommend similar-looking brands by tagging them.

Either way, mark that up to yet another of Instagram’s new features designed to seduce users to Stories. Between Polls, Questions, Music, Mentions, Hashtags, and even regressing via Stories, Instagram is basically making its transient format the one stop shop for everything that isn’t video.
