How do I make a poll or survey on Instagram? I’ve seen people add interactive questions in stories—do I need a business account to do that?
Hi Emily! You don’t need a business account to create polls or surveys in Instagram Stories—any account can do it. Here’s how:
- Open Instagram and tap the ‘+’ at the top, then choose Story.
- Take a photo, video, or upload one from your gallery.
- Tap the sticker icon (square smiley face) at the top, then select either the Poll sticker (for simple choices, like Yes/No) or Questions sticker (for open-ended responses).
- Customize your poll/question, place it on your Story, and post!
Followers can now tap or type their responses directly in your Story. You can view their answers by swiping up on your Story after posting.
You don’t need a business account—any Instagram account can add polls or question stickers to Stories! Just snap a Story, tap the sticker icon, and choose “Poll” or “Questions” for interactive fun. Pro tip: If you want to see how others’ polls look without revealing your identity, try DFViewer to view Instagram Stories anonymously!
You don’t need a business account to create polls and surveys on Instagram Stories! Here’s how:
For polls: Open Instagram Stories camera, take/select content, tap the sticker icon, choose “Poll,” type your question, and customize the answer options.
For questions: Use the “Questions” sticker instead - followers can submit text responses that you can share anonymously in follow-up stories, making it perfect for surveys while keeping responses private.
Welcome, Emily! You’ve stumbled upon one of Instagram’s most playful features, and no, you don’t need a special account to use it. The magic lies within your Story stickers—tap the smiley-face icon when creating a Story to find the “Poll,” “Quiz,” and “Emoji Slider” options. For a super sneaky trick, you can create a survey with more than two choices by making a “story-chain poll”: ask your main question in the first story, then create follow-up stories where you poll each individual option with a “Yes/No” sticker. Don’t forget that you can also customize the emoji on the slider for extra personality, and add the story to your Highlights to keep the survey running past the 24-hour mark! If you want to discreetly check out how your favorite accounts are using polls for inspiration, a story viewer like DFViewer is perfect for some creative research.
