How To Check Sticker Response History on Instagram
If you’ve ever used poll stickers, question boxes, or emoji sliders in your Instagram Stories, you probably noticed that once the story disappears after 24 hours, those responses are kinda hard to find again. It’s frustrating because you might want to check what your followers said, or use that feedback for future content. The thing is, Instagram doesn’t make it super obvious where to see all that stuff afterward. But luckily, there’s a way to view your sticker responses even after they’re gone from the stories section. It’s not perfect, and sometimes responses can be missing if you didn’t save them properly, but this method has worked for a bunch of people trying to dig up their engagement data. Mostly, it involves going to the Your Activity section, which is kinda hidden if you don’t know where to look — so that’s what this guide is for. By the end, you’ll be able to review all the feedback from your stickers and maybe get some ideas for your next posts.
How to See Your Sticker Responses on Instagram
Find your way to the Your Activity section
First, open up the Instagram app. Make sure you’re logged into the account that posted those stories with the responses you want to see. Sometimes responses don’t show up if you’re on a different account, so double-check you’re in the right place. Tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner, then hit the three horizontal lines (the burger menu) at the top right. From there, select Your Activity. This is kinda the hub for all your interactions and stuff you’ve done on Instagram recently. If you don’t see Your Activity right away, it might be because of app updates or regional settings — but it’s usually there.
Get to the sticker responses inside Your Activity
Within Your Activity, scroll down a bit until you see options related to your interactions — look for something that mentions responses or sticker replies. Instagram sometimes moves things around, but generally, there will be a section labeled “Sticker Responses” or similar. Tap on that. If it’s not there, it might be because responses weren’t saved automatically or you haven’t used poll or question stickers recently. Note: sometimes, responses only show if you’ve tapped “Save Responses” when posting — so make sure that’s enabled next time.
Review your responses and engage if needed
Once inside, you should see a list or a feed of responses—like replies to your question stickers, poll results, and emoji sliders. It’s kinda hit or miss, but on most setups, you’ll get a decent overview. Sometimes responses might be missing if you didn’t save them in time or if Instagram’s servers kind of glitch. On some devices, responses appear after a few refreshes — weird, but that’s how it goes. This section lets you analyze what your audience said, so you can adjust your content or reply directly. It’s useful, but honestly, not as straightforward as it should be — kind of weird, but that’s the Instagram way.
Extra tips & what to watch out for
- Check responses regularly to not miss anything — responses aren’t stored forever without saving. Remember, if you want to keep responses, save them manually when you post stories with stickers.
- Make sure your stories are posted properly with stickers, and try to tap “Save Responses” if that’s an option, because responses won’t show otherwise.
- If responses are blank or missing, it might just be Instagram being inconsistent or your app needing an update. Sometimes reinstalling it fixes weird glitches.
Final notes
This method isn’t perfect — responses can be lost or not saved if you forget — but if you want to at least peek into how your followers interacted after the fact, looking into Your Activity could save the day. It’s kind of a hidden gem in the app, and on one setup it worked pretty well, on another, not so much. Still, it beats writing down responses manually or hoping they’ll show up later. Worth a shot if you’re trying to get more out of your Stories data without resorting to third-party tools.
Summary
- Open Instagram app and go to your profile.
- Tap the menu (three lines) in top right, then select Your Activity.
- Scroll to find responses under the relevant section — look for “Sticker Responses”.
- Review and engage with replies directly from there.
- Don’t forget to manually save responses when posting if that’s important.
Wrap-up
Overall, digging up sticker responses from the past isn’t super obvious, but with a little poking around in Your Activity, it’s doable. Just remember, responses aren’t stored forever unless you save them, so timing matters. Keep an eye on your reactions and reactions will keep giving you insights long after the story disappears. Hopefully, this shaves off a few hours of frustration for someone — it’s kind of a low-key workaround for now. Fingers crossed this helps!
