It allows people to answer questions by the magnitude of preference on a slider scale, instead of tapping on preset answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the emoji slider, you can ask your followers questions that are more nuanced. Instead of an answer, you give them an emoji to rate their answers with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is this more fun, but it adds an added layer of emotional context to your Instagram Story. It can also help your followers gauge the tone of your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer using an emoji slider, followers simply have to drag the emoji on the bar either to the left or the right. In a nutshell, emoji sliders animate each response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the emoji slider, your followers can also see how others have reacted to the poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the example of the emoji slider below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BirqirhHa9r\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
