Instagram recently introduced likes as an additional way to engage with Stories. It seems that now the company could add another way to respond to clips and images in your friends’ stories, at least according to Engadget.
According developer Alessandro Paluzzi, known for reverse engineering apps to find new featuresInstagram is working on allow people to send voice messages in response to Stories. On Saturday, Paluzzi shared a screenshot of the new interface feature.
It’s worth noting that not every feature the company works on behind the scenes ends up in a public release. When Instagram introduced “likes” for private Stories, it said its motivation was to reduce inbox clutter.

add option of sending voice messages would go against that philosophy, but would facilitate something that can already be done within the application.
