Instagram is consistently updating the features available on Stories.

In 2018, the company introduced "Questions" - a question and answer element where the user can ask followers questions, or for recommendations, or vice versa. But beware: it's not anonymous.

The feature is easy to use, and can come in handy if you are looking for things to do in a new city or just want to get the opinions of your followers.

How to ask a question on Instagram Stories

1. First, launch Instagram from your device.

You can view the responses to your question in two places. First, you can go to your Instagram story and swipe up to see who viewed your question and who answered it. Or you can find responses listed in your notification list, accessible by tapping the heart icon from the bottom menu.
