In the latest update to its mobile app, social network Instagram rolled out a new interactive polling feature for Instagram stories. In other words, it’s now possible to poll web users for their opinions on any subject, by adding a poll sticker to a photo or video.

Adding a poll to a story couldn’t be easier. After choosing a photo or video for your story, simply select the poll sticker then customize it with the question and poll answers (text or image) of your choice. The sticker can then be placed wherever you like on the image. Once you share the poll, you can follow the results in real time, and voters can see which answer is in the lead. Like other Instagram Stories, polls disappear after 24 hours.

Instagram’s aim is to offer a fun, interactive tool that lets users ask friends and followers simple questions, about what they should wear, for example (“Should I wear this dress or these jeans?”) or what to eat (“Should I finish this leftover pizza or cook some pasta?”). Brands may also see the function as a subtle way of gauging the opinions of their fans.

FEATURED STORIES

Instagram is available to download free from Google Play (Android) and the Apple App Store (iOS). JB

EDITORS' PICK
A newlyweds returning from honeymoon were also among the victims of the crash, just two weeks after tying the knot at a ceremony on Dec. 13. A 32-year-old woman who was about to get married next spring was also among those who took the flight. A father who took his two sons on a trip to Bangkok was found to have died in the tragedy as well. The family was celebrating the elder son recently being accepted to university. A 30-year-old reporter at a Gwangju-based media outlet was one of the passengers of the flight 7C 2216, along with her 33-year-old husband. The vacation was a reward from the reporter's company, during which she posted a photo of a hotel swimming pool in Bangkok on her Instagram saying, "The weather here is so great, it's like early summer." A 50-year-old woman aboard the flight took the trip after surviving a yearlong cancer treatment. It was her first overseas trip since her honeymoon with her husband, who had passed away three years ago. The oldest victim in the accident, a 79-year-old man, was returning from a trip that was arranged by his family. His wife, two daughters and one of his son-in-laws, his granddaughter and three grandsons were also on board. Forty-one of the passengers aboard the flight were on the return leg of a package tour that left Muan International Airport on Christmas night. Of the 175 passengers, 103 were aged at least 50, while 14 were under the age of 20. The Ministry of Education on Monday announced that four of the victims were in elementary school, three in middle school, three in high school, and one was attending a local daycare center.
