There's a new feature for Instagram Stories that's making waves. And surely you have also seen it in the stories of your contacts. It is, quite simply, a sticker where you can ask your followers anything. Or on the contrary, receive questions to answer any doubt publicly, although keeping the anonymity of the person asking/answering. Don't you have this function yet? Don't worry, Instagram is bringing it to all users little by little.Follow these steps to make sure you have it as soon as possible.
Get Instagram Beta
If you have an Android mobile you can install the latest version of Instagram. The most recent. But we are not referring to the one that you can get from the Google Play Store on a regular basis, but to its beta or test version It is a version prior to the one that everyone has y, where new features are tested before they are released to everyone else.
It is safe for your mobile and for your account. Of course, keep in mind that, being a trial version, may contain minor malfunctions. It is the price for enjoying functions before other users.
You just have to sign up for the Google Play Store beta tester program for Instagram. Go to the Google Play Store and search for Instagram. Then scroll down the screen until you find the tests section under the comments.
Then wait a reasonable time until you can download the beta version (the most current test version) from the Google Play Store. After becoming a tester or betatester, you will only have to wait about 5 minutes to access the Instagram download page in the usual way in the Google Play Store. What is different is that, between parentheses, the word "beta" appears and that you can download the latest version. You do it and done. As if it were another update, the trial version is already available on your mobile, where many of the new features should pass before reaching the rest.
To exit the beta tester program you just have to repeat the process. You can do it on the Instagram download page in the Google Play Store. Scroll down until you find the box to exit the program. Here choose exit beta test group.
Delete application data
Instagram often launches its new features from its servers. This means that users have little power over the process. But we can make things a little easier. You just have to go to the Settings menu and look for the Applications section Here we must find Instagram and access its information screen. Inside there are several sections, among which Memory stands out.
Here we can see the size that Instagram occupies and the extra files it needs to work on our mobile. Well, by choosing to delete the Cache Memory and the rest of the data, we will force the application to restart. We can also uninstall the application and reinstall it to make the process even more drastic and force the connection to the service servers.
When reinstalling and reopening the application we will have to enter our user account and password again.But it is likely that we have reset the application counter and, therefore, that Instagram has activated the new functionalities. Of course, is not a guarantee of getting the new feature if Instagram has not yet launched the feature in your region.
In this way, it must be taken into account that these methods can force the arrival of new features that have already been released but are delayed on our mobiles. If the region we live in is still foreign to Instagram question stickers, surely we have to arm ourselves with patience for a longer wait
