Instagram is constantly coming up with new features to make it even more enjoyable and exciting for its users. The story element has added a whole new variable to the service, and is more and more being used as a community building tool. The question stickers are the latest craze on Instagram and allow you and your followers a more personalized communication and interaction.

 

​​What are the Survey-Stickers

Survey-Stickers is a new option for the story stickers on Instagram. With it you can ask simple "A or B" questions. The story creator can check the statistics and not only sees what the voting result is, but also learns which user has voted for which option. Users can only see the results in the story, but not who has voted. The result itself can be published as a story again later on.

 

​​How to use the Survey-Stickers

If you want to use the new and innovative feature, you have to create a new story by adding text, an image or a video. Tap the Emoji icon near the top-right corner or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see your stickers. Then select a Poll sticker from the list. Next you can post your question to your followers and edit the two answer options. Instagram polls are binary, which means that you cannot define more than two possible answers.

For example, if you had your hair cut, you can ask if your friends like the new cut and they can answer with yes, or no. If you wanted to decide what to wear for an event, you could add left or right as outfit options and would know what your community thought about it. 

The polls in the Instagram Stories are a simple and entertaining tool for quickly raising opinions on specific topics.

 

​Limitations of the Survey-Sticker

Their survey sticker only has one design, which cannot be edited. The answer options appear in red and green and are not interchangeable. Also, the font and size and style of the question about the survey cannot be edited, which sometimes limits you in the length of your question and answers. Not only are you very limited in space, if you write more than one like, it does not break very nicely.

My tip for you: Leave the question text blank and instead use the normal text tool to place your question above the answer options from the survey-sticker.
