Instagram, one of the world’s most popular social media platforms, is about to roll out an exciting new feature that will enhance your experience, especially when it comes to Instagram Stories. Have you ever missed a friend’s story after it expired? With this upcoming feature, you’ll be able to view older, expired stories without the worry of missing out.
Currently, Instagram Stories disappear after 24 hours, but reports indicate that Instagram is testing a new feature that will allow users to view stories that have expired. This feature will likely display older stories in a dedicated category, allowing you to catch up on stories you missed.
Instagram’s New Story Highlights Feature
Instagram is experimenting with a new Story Highlights feature, which aims to show expired stories in the story tray — the area at the top of your feed where you typically view friends’ stories. At present, this feature is being tested with a limited number of users.
Expired Stories
The new feature is a part of Instagram’s ongoing efforts to improve user experience. The Story Highlights feature will be especially useful for those who often miss out on stories before they expire. However, it’s important to note that this feature will only show stories that are up to a week old.
What’s unique about this feature is that it will only work with stories from mutual followers, and users will need to save the stories they want to highlight after they expire. As of now, Instagram has not officially confirmed the feature, but if all goes as planned, it promises to be a valuable addition for users who want to relive their favorite moments.
