Hello, my tech-savvy friends! It’s your favorite technology enthusiast, Nuked, here to bring you the latest scoop on Instagram’s new features. Buckle up, because this is going to be a fun ride!

Good news for all you Instagram fans out there! Soon, you’ll be able to leave comments on Instagram Stories. Yes, those fleeting posts that seem to be taking over our feeds are getting a little more interactive. Previously, when you replied to a Story, your message was sent privately, only visible to the poster. But now, comments will allow for a more public conversation!

Now, let’s talk about the nitty-gritty. Not everyone can just waltz in and comment on your Stories. Only your followers who you also follow back will have that privilege. So, if you’re not in that exclusive club, sorry, not sorry!

And here’s a twist: just like the Stories themselves, these comments won’t stick around forever. They’ll disappear after 24 hours! According to Instagram’s spokesperson Emily Norfolk, users can choose whether to enable or disable comments on their Stories. So if you’re feeling shy or just want some peace and quiet—no comments for you!

As for what happens after those 24 hours? Well, we’re still waiting on Instagram to clarify if comments will vanish into the digital ether once the Story expires. Fingers crossed they’ll give us some answers soon!

Instagram has been busy adding exciting features lately. They seem to be focusing on making Stories and Reels vibrant hubs for connecting with friends rather than just mindless scrolling. Earlier this summer, they introduced disappearing “notes” for grid posts and Reels, which are like mini-comments that last for three days. You can even decide who gets to see those notes—talk about personalizing your experience!

Oh, and let’s not forget the new floating hearts feature! Some likes will now pop up like balloons on your posts, adding a touch of flair similar to those disappearing notes. It’s all about making interactions feel more lively and engaging.

And speaking of tech innovations, have you heard about Google’s new Pixel 9 Pro? It boasts a killer triple rear camera system and comes in two sizes—6.3″ and 6.8″. Plus, it’s packed with some nifty software tricks that include AI features in Magic Editor and a unique Add Me feature so you can finally be in those group selfies!

So there you have it! Instagram is stepping up its game with these new features while Google is rolling out some impressive hardware. Stay tuned for more updates from your tech buddy Nuked!
