Last week, a handful of users noticed a new sticker while creating an Instagram Story that allowed them to ask their followers a question. A week later and Instagram has officially announced the ‘Question Sticker.’ The premise of this new sticker is pretty straightforward. You snap a photo or video, add the Question Sticker, and type out a question for your followers. Add a question sticker to your story by selecting it from the sticker tray after taking a photo or video. Type out your prompt then place it wherever you’d like and share it to your story. When friends see the sticker, they can tap it to reply — and they can reply as many times as they want, right from the sticker. When others see your Story, they then can tap into the ‘Type something…’ box and respond to you. While these messages are private and only you can see them, if you receive any interesting responses, you can then reshare those to your Story. Doing so will remove the person’s name and picture that way they don’t need to worry about others knowing their identity. How to use the Instagram Story Question Sticker on Android The new Question Sticker should be live for everyone on Android and iOS right now just as long as you’ve updated to version 52.

Curious to get your friend's thoughts on the latest episode of The Bachelor? Or what they thought about those new Starbucks drinks? Now, you can query your friends about their varying opinions on any topic you wish right in Instagram, thanks to the addition of the questions sticker for Stories. Before you start asking away, you probably need a quick tutorial. Here's how to use Instagram's questions sticker, so you can get the answers you need. The questions sticker for Instagram Stories is definitely a conversation starter. The latest addition of features to the app works in a very similar manner as Instagram's @mention sticker or location sticker. First, you will need to create a Story in order to use the questions sticker function. Open the Instagram app on your iOS or Android device. The app should automatically open up to your photo and video feed screen. On that screen, you will see a camera icon in the upper lefthand corner. Tap the camera and hold down on the white center button to create a photo or video for your Instagram Story. Instagram Once you've wrapped up your Story, you will see three icons in the top righthand corner. The first one should look like a smiley face. Tap the face to open up Instagram's sticker tray. This is where you would find the @mention sticker, the hashtag sticker, and the location sticker to add to your Story. Except this time, you should find the questions sticker, too. Tap to add it to your photo or video Story. Now, type out your question, and then place it wherever you want on your Instagram Story (just like you would any of the other stickers). Click the "Send To" button on the bottom lefthand corner of your screen to add it to your Story. Before you know it, the answers (aka questions) from your followers will start rolling in. Instagram Your friends can reply directly to your question while viewing your Story. They can simply type their answer right in the questions sticker, and hit send. They can also respond as many times as they want. It's that easy. To view their response, check our your Story's viewers list. Tap the question they asked to create a new Story for your answer. This could get confusing (especially if you are responding to multiple questions at once), but Instagram is already one step ahead of you. The question you're responding to will appear in your Story, so you won't forget what you are answering. Instagram You can also share your friend's response in your story. So, if they've got an extra hot take about the most recent World Cup match or the down low on that newly-opened coffee joint, you can share their opinions with the world. When you share their response, it won't reveal their username and photo. This way they can remain completely anonymous. You can still keep track of who submitted answers to your question, because each response will appear in your viewer's list. This list is private, so it's for your eyes only. Instagram Instagram's questions sticker is a great way to strike up a conversation with any of your friends and followers. Plus, combine it with the polling sticker and emoji slider and you will stumble upon a bevy of information and knowledge from your friends. What better way to keep company when you're bored or on-the-go? If you've followed these instructions and still can't find the questions sticker, it's possible that you may need to update your Instagram app. Visit the app store on your mobile device to make sure you are running the latest version (No. 52). Once you're up-to-date, go ahead and ask away.<doc-sep>Instagram has launched a new feature for Stories called the Question Sticker.

After the big IGTV announcement that brought along long-form portrait videos to Instagram, the social networking app has now introduced another feature to increase engagement. Called the questions sticker, it will enable followers to submit questions for you to answer. Once you post the questions sticker into one of your story, then users can just type in a question in the box for you to see and answer. This feature has rolled out to both Android and iOS users with the latest update, and should show up in the sticker tray in your Instagram app. The questions sticker was spotted by some users last week, but now it has officially arrived with Instagram version 52 on iOS and Android. The question sticker sits in the sticker tray, right beside the emoji slider which was also launched recently. Once you select the question sticker, a small box appears on your screen, and you can type a message for your followers inviting them to ask you questions. Once you post the story with the questions sticker, followers will be able to type in questions that they wish to ask you in the box, and you will receive them as notifications in your story viewer's list. Followers can ask as many questions as they want through the questions sticker. You can choose which question to answer, by tapping it in the story viewer's list, 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 follower's photo and username will not be shown," the company explains. With this new feature, Instagram has added another sticker into its tray to increase more traction in Stories. There's an option to create a poll with the poll slider, and the emoji slider lets you express your love for something that is shown in a story. Instagram Stories was launched last year to combat competition from Snapchat, and now both Instagram Stories and WhatsApp Status features have 300 million daily active users (DAUs) -- compared to 178 million Snapchat users.
