PSA: Those Instagram Story emoji sliders will snitch on your ass

Here's a hot tip: If you vote in one of those emoji slider polls your friends may be posting to Instagram Stories — to gauge how cute a dog is, say — your friends will absolutely be notified of your answer. 

There is no anonymity here.

Take, for example, a recent emoji slider on my own Instagram Story:

My friend Rebecca decided this dog was extremely — almost comically — low on the "yas???" scale.

Her defense? "I didn't know you could see individual responses."
