Instagram's introduction of comments on Stories allows users to engage more publicly. Unlike DMs, comments are visible to mutual followers for a more interactive experience.
Meta clarified that comments made on Stories remain exclusive to the Story, stating that 'comments live only on your Story,' ensuring privacy to some extent.
Users can toggle comments on or off for specific Stories, allowing more control over interactions, as comments will disappear after 24 hours.
Alongside this feature, users can still send direct messages in response to Stories, enhancing the interaction options available within the Instagram ecosystem.
