So apparently... If you reply into that box, the recipient will know the username of who sent that to him. Right? So it's not anonymous, lol. However, when the recipient shares it, it's anonymous (doesn't feature the username). Right?

Any other private information sent besides the username when you respond in that box? Phone number? Facebook account? etc?... My friend asked a troll question for his girlfriend and... Well... It ain't gonna end well imo.

It's just the account name the recipient sees.

No IP Location or phone number reveal?

If so, then my friend is in the clear, lol. He used an alternate Instagram account with no pics of him on it, xD!

Here's what he asked her: "Do you do drugs?"

If she knew, she'd beat him to no end, lol. He was so trolling, xD!

Well, it is only accessible on a phone (computers won't let you use the Ask Me A Question feature) and he had a feeling the Instagram makers were bold enough to also feature the phone number that's linked (or just used to post that) so the recipient can track down the poster, lol.

I was kind of rooting to see what his girlfriend's reaction would be, lmao! She loves chaos.
