Instagram is testing the Like feature in the Stories column. As the name suggests, this feature allows users to give a Like, aka a marker that they like the uploaded Stories they are viewing. As observed by KompasTekno, notification of this trial began to appear among Instagram users in Indonesia since Thursday (18/11/2021) last night. “We’re testing a way to react to Stories without sending a direct message. Only the Stories uploader can see that you’ve given a Like,” the notification reads.
To give a Like, users can open Stories and press the icon with a heart symbol located next to the comment field. The uploader of the respective Stories content will receive a notification that reads “(Username) liked your story”. If the notification is pressed, the uploader will be taken to the Stories content that gets reacted and can see a list of people who gave Likes through the Viewers menu. People who give a Like will be marked by the presence of a heart-shaped icon that can be found to the right of their profile photo.
Signs of the presence of the Like feature in Stories have actually been heard for some time. This feature was revealed by an application developer named Alessandro Paluzzi. On October 5, Paluzzi uploaded a post on Twitter showing a screenshot of the Like feature that will be present in Stories uploads.
In addition to leaking the Like feature on Stories, Paluzzi also revealed several other Instagram features including the “Add a Moderator” option in the Instagram Live settings menu.
Based on the uploaded screenshot, users can later add Moderators during the Live Instagram session.
The moderator will have control over the process of running Live on Instagram like the creator of Live Instagram.
There are several tasks that the Moderator can perform, including turning off several options, such as comments in the live chat column, permission to join, asking questions, and much more. Until now, Instagram has only rolled out the Like feature in Stories for users in Indonesia. It’s still unclear when the Add a Moderator feature will be added.
