The ability to highlight post replies in Instagram stories is available for the smartphone app. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Open the Instagram app, followed by the post from which you want to share comments on the Instagram story.

Step 2: Tap and hold the comment you want to share.

Step 3: Now, tap the Story icon (Plus button inside the circle).

Step 4: Make necessary changes and tap on Your story at the bottom.

If your account still doesn’t have the option to share replies on Instagram stories, we still have a workaround. Take a screenshot and post it on your Instagram story. Ensure to crop the picture to make it look like the default feature. Here’s how to take screenshots:

On iPhone

  • For iPhones with FaceID: Press and hold the side button + volume up button together until you hear the shutter sound or a screenshot thumbnail appears on your screen.
  • take screenshot on iPhone with faceID
  • For iPhones with TouchID (Home button): Press the side and home buttons simultaneously until you hear the shutter sound or a screenshot thumbnail appears on your screen.
  • highlight post comment in Instagram Story

    On Android

    Usually, you can press and hold the Power + Volume down button simultaneously until you see the screenshot preview on Android. However, depending on your Android smartphone, you can also take screenshots by swiping on your screen from top to bottom using three fingers. While this feature is enabled by default for most, you can always turn it on from Settings.

    While we have mentioned a workaround, missing out on features such as the ability to highlight post comments in the Instagram story might bug you out. We have got some fixes.

    1. Update Instagram to the Latest Version

    As you can assume, the ability to highlight post replies in Instagram stories is a relatively new feature. Hence, you must update the app to the latest version. Check and update your Instagram app using the respective link below:

    For Android users, you can also try to join the Instagram beta to experience some other upcoming features before the stable Instagram app. Note that you might face some bugs in the beta version.

    2. Check the Internet Connection

    Despite being able to share comments on Instagram stories, you might still need help, which might be because of an unstable internet connection. You can check if your internet connection is stable using the link below.

    If there is an issue with your internet connection, restart your router and mode, or contact your ISP and ask for a better plan.

    3. Check if Instagram Is Down

    You might be unable to use the Share replies on the Instagram stories feature because of server errors on Instagram. You can check if Instagram is down using the link below:

    4. Check if the Feature Is Available for Alt Account

    Instagram usually pushes new features to accounts in batches, which might be why you cannot highlight post comments in Instagram Story. If you have an alternative account, switch to it and check. Interestingly, that account might have received the feature before your main. Here’s how you can switch your account:

    Step 1: Open Instagram to tap and hold your profile picture.

    Step 2: From here, choose the alternative ID you want to switch to.

    Once you switch your account, follow the steps above to highlight post replies in your Instagram story.

    1. Can you leave comments on Instagram stories?

    Yes. You can reply to Instagram stories, but they won’t be visible to the receiver.

    2. How do you add moving text to Instagram stories?

    As of writing this guide, you can’t add custom moving texts to Instagram Stories. However, you can still use Stickers and GIFs to add moving texts to your stories.

    Share Others Thoughts in Your Stories

    Often, we want to share the comments under posts on your Instagram Story. Now that Instagram has made this feature public, we hope you will use it with your account. Happy Instagramming!
