Instagram rolls out its 'Add Yours' sticker for Stories

Instagram

You might have been seeing this new Instagram feature over the last few days. Instagram has rolled out its "Add Yours" sticker, which creates a public thread of previously added Stories. It lets you respond to other people's posts based on the prompt, serving as a content chain of sorts. This global launch came after Instagram tested it out in Indonesia and Japan last month.

As TechCrunch pointed out, you can liken it to TikTok's Duet feature, but this is slightly different as you can see everyone's public posts.TikTok's option won't surface all the videos that used the feature with the original TikTok.
