Could this be another step towards making the service more accessible to hearing-impaired users? Instagram is finally launching automatic captions on its Stories. For the moment the feature is only available in English.

Instagram has already been offering subtitles on IGTV, but now even Stories will be able to benefit from this useful feature. Users of the social network can now enjoy automatic caption generation, but only in English. Other languages should be offered later, but no date has been communicated yet.
