Until now, you could only react with emojis or post a comment on stories. With the introduction of the new feature, users have got a new way to engage with Stories in a way that is more expressive and entertaining.
Instagram is also expected to roll out reactions for its direct messages feature. As reported earlier, reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong said the photo-sharing app is already working on this feature. In a series of posts on Twitter, she said that as of now non-Instagram employees will only be able to use the heart reaction for direct messages. The feature is being tested right now, however, the Facebook-owned company had been working on it since October last year.
