Instagram adds a new feature to its Stories. A new chat sticker to interact with our followers. One more way to make the messaging app a more open social network, where users can chat with our friends, following and followers. This new sticker for Instagram Stories joins the one for polls or questions.
The purpose of this new Chat sticker is to be able to enter a conversation group similar to WhatsAppBy including this sticker in our stories, users will be able to tap to send you a request, which you will have to accept or decline later. If you accept it, a group will be created where you can chat with your followers. It is a very interesting option for those looking to chat with their followers. The option to accept or reject the request is a very good idea, since you can select which users can enter or not.
Any user can use the Instagram chat sticker. You don't have to be an influencer. To activate it, you just have to go to your account, press the stories and add a new one. Then, swipe from the bottom area and access the stickers. You will see the new chat sticker. Add it to your story. You can rotate or enlarge the sticker, as well as give the chat a title When posting, users will be able to see that sticker and tap to send you a request.
Accept requests and manage the group
If you have created the sticker, the requests will appear sliding from the bottom area in the story. You will have to press the accept request button. Afterwards, a group chat will be created with the name you have given to the sticker. As you are the administrator, you will be able to add or delete the contacts that are inside. Remember that Instagram stories last 24 hours,so only those who see your story will be able to enter, unless you include it in the featured option.
Important: The new chat sticker does not require an app update, it will appear automatically. If you still don't get it, wait a few days for it to be available in your account.
