Instagram recently took away likes as an additional way to engage with Stories. And it looks like the company may soon add another way to respond to your friends’ fleeting clips and images. According to the developer , which is known for reverse-engineering apps to find evidence of new features, Instagram is working to let people send voice messages in response to Stories. On Saturday, Paluzzi shared a screenshot of the new interface feature.
We reached out to Instagram for a comment. We’ll note here that not every feature the company is working on behind the scenes ends up in a public release. When Instagram introduced Story’s private likes, it said its motivation was to reduce inbox clutter. Adding the option to send voicemail would go against that philosophy, but it would be easier to do something you can already do in the app.
