Instagram Adds Polls in Stories, New Creative Tools
Instagram's adding a new method for conducting polls, with a sticker option that lets you pose a question within your Instagram Story and see the results from your followers as they participate.
Polls have proven a popular option on other platforms – Twitter introduced their native polls tool back in 2015, while on Facebook, you can create polls in Groups, events pages and on Messenger.
But more relevant for Facebook might be the recent use of polls within Facebook Live streams. As you’ve no doubt seen, many Pages have been creating polls in streams which use Reactions as a voting mechanism – something Facebook advises against.

Instagram Reaches 800 Million Users, 2 Million Advertisers
Instagram continues to grow at a rapid clip, announcing at an Advertising Week event in NYC that it has now reached a new milestone of 800 million monthly active users.
To put that in context, here’s the current ranking of social networks by users (for those that provide a monthly active user count).
As noted, both Snapchat and LinkedIn don’t provide official monthly active user counts, but Snapchat has 173 million daily active users, while LinkedIn's estimated to have around 250 million MAU, which would put it just ahead of Pinterest.
