Do you know how to use Instagram story questions? This time, I will explain how to ask and respond to Instagram stories that you can not ask now. I will tell you how to share from individual ways to multiple ways to share. Let’s use this as a reference to make better use of Instagram.
What are Insta Story Questions?
Instagram has a way to post that disappears in 24 hours called “stories”. The function of “question” is installed there. By using this, it is possible to solicit questions and ask questions on Instagram stories.

To ask a question, first display the Instagram story posting screen. To open the post screen, swipe left to right or press your photo on the home screen. You can also post photos and ask questions there. Of course, you can also ask questions on the post screen of the text input of the story.
There is a smiley face mark on the post screen, so when you press it, many items will appear, so tap “Question”. By default, it says ‘Do you have any questions?’ You can change your question and ask for more specific answers.
How to answer questions

One of the question functions of Instagram stories is “song recommendation”. Let’s talk regarding how to ask and answer them.
How to ask song recommendations
To use “recommended songs”, display the Instagram story posting screen. Press the smiley face mark on the post screen and tap “Question”. A note mark will appear, so if you press it, the question will change to a “recommended song” question.
By default, the text is “Recommended song?”, so you can post it as it is or change the text. The difference from normal questions is that you can listen to the selected song by answering.
How to respond to song recommendations
To answer a ‘suggested song’ question, find the person who posted the question on Instagram Stories. Press “Select Song” displayed in the post to go to the screen to select music. Use the search function to select the song you want to reply to.
How to see and share your Instagram story question responses
After posting a question on Instagram Stories, we will show you how to check and respond to what has been answered.
How to check your question answer
To check your Instagram story response, open your Instagram home screen. Tap your photo or see the story you posted your question in Archives. By swiping the screen from the bottom to the top, it is possible to check the answer to the question. You can also see who responded.
How to share answers to questions
There are three actions that can be taken following confirming the answer to the question. You can choose to “Share Response”, “Send Direct Message” or “Delete Response”. Let’s take a look at “Share Responses” in particular.
When you move to the screen where you can check the response to the question in Instagram Story, select the item you want to share and tap “Share response”. Respondents will never be seen on the sharing screen. Select a background image, etc., and add text if you want to comment on it.
How to share answers to multiple questions
Sharing multiple question responses on Insta Stories requires a few steps.
First, how to overwrite the screen. Check your response on Instagram Stories and tap Share Response. After adjusting the size and location, download the image. Check the response once more and select “Share response”. If you set the background image to the one you downloaded earlier, you can add responses. Multiple responses can be shared by repeating this.
Another way is to use screenshots. You can share multiple responses at once by displaying all responses in Instagram Stories and taking a screenshot. However, since the name of the respondent will appear, try to hide it with a stamp or the like.
Points to note when using questions in Instagram stories
Here are 4 things to keep in mind when using the question function on Instagram stories.
Notes ① Character limit
There is a character limit when answering questions. The upper limit varies depending on the device, so if you want to return a long reply, you should send a message with someone.
Note 2: One question per story
You can only ask one question per Instagram story. If you want to ask a few questions, you have to post more stories.
Note 3: URLs cannot be pasted in questions
Even if you paste the URL in the question field, it will be just a string of characters, and it will not respond even if you press it. You can set up a “link” in the Instagram story function, so let’s take advantage of that.
Note ④ If you do not archive it, it will disappear
Instagram stories are designed to disappear following 24 hours. If you want to see the answers to your questions even following the post disappears, set the archive to remain.
The setting method displays the menu with three lines in the upper right of the profile screen. From Archive, tap the three dots to go to Settings and turn on Save Stories to Archive.
Will it be found out if I reply to an Instagram story?
If I reply to an Instagram story, will the person who responded find out? Let’s break it down into several patterns.
Pattern 1: People who asked for questions will find out
When you reply to an Instagram story question, the content of the reply and the account name will be revealed to the questioner. If you don’t want the other person to find out, it’s best not to answer the question.
Pattern 2: Depending on the sharing method of the person who asked the question, it will be exposed
Basically, only the person who asked the question will know the identity of the person who answered. However, depending on the questioner’s sharing method, it may be exposed. If you do not hide the account name with a stamp or the like by taking screenshots of all the responses, there is a possibility that the account name will be revealed to other Instagram users.
summary
I introduced the question function of Instagram story. The questioner can use the question stamp from the normal story posting screen to solicit questions or ask specific questions. To answer a question, it is possible by looking at the story in which the question is being asked and entering it.
There are several ways to share answers to questions, but we don’t recommend sharing multiple answers with screenshots, as other users will find out the name of the account you responded to. It’s troublesome, but let’s share multiple answers by sharing one by one, or by saving and overwriting images one by one.
Since the account name will be revealed to the person who asked the question, it may be best not to respond to those who do not want to be exposed at all.
