In the latest in the Snapchat/Instagram saga… Instagram Stories just became even more like Snapchat with its latest feature!
Users can now respond to 24-hour stories directly with their own, short-term photo or video response. It’s a feature that has long been offered by Snapchat, and brings Instagram even closer to duplicating the original disappearing stories app.
“Starting today, you can reply to stories with a photo or video. From selfies to Boomerangs, now you can be even more fun and playful when you respond to friends,” Instagram shared on social media. “To reply with a photo or a video, tap the new camera button while you’re watching a story.” 
From there, it goes down in the dm. “Today’s update is just one of the ways we’re working to make Direct the best place to have fun, visual conversations with friends on Instagram.”
To get started, update your Instagram app, check out a friend’s story, and then reply as you please!

With the way things are going, this Snapchat/Instagram comparison conversation isn’t going to continue forever… Because, they’re already pretty much the same damn thing.
