Instagram Polls Feature

If you’ve had a good WiFi connection, then chances are that you’ve probably noticed that Instagram have added a ‘polls’ feature to their app.

They’re actually pretty nifty.

However some people didn’t realise that one of the key functions is that your vote isn’t anonymous. At all.

Oh boy.

Soon enough, people were totally freaking out about it on Twitter.

Just did a poll on instagram. Not sure how I feel about seeing people’s answers. Those that said no to seeing my wedding photos. I see you 👀
