Instagram Begins Roll-out of new Inline Comment Box

A lot of new features has been rolling round all facebook-owned social networks lately, including Instagram. Previously, they added the ability to follow hashtags, now, the popular photo/video sharing app is testing another feature that will enable users comment on a particular photo directly from the main photo feed.

This new Instagram inline comment feature will pop up a thin box that says "Add a comment" below a photo in your photo feeds, so you can drop your thoughts about it without clicking on the photo.

You won't see the new comment box at first, until you stare at a photo for a few seconds, then if your Instagram app has the new feature, the inline comment box will show up right below the photo, tempting you to do the needful. This feature will certainly increase the number of comments on photos because you are likely to comment on one you spend more time looking at.

While this feature is already on iOS since last month, Instagram is just rolling it out to Android users starting from this week via a server-side update. So, if you stare at a photo that is posted in your main feed and nothing appears, it simply means you have to wait more.

You can always join the alpha program to test new Instagram features before they're released to the public. We hope they announce when the roll out is completed to save some people the stress of staring every now and then at photos.
