Instagram’s next feature will let you watch expired Stories from a week ago

Did you miss a story from your friends on Instagram? Soon, you may also be able to watch Instagram Stories from a week ago, according to a report from TechCrunch.

Instagram Stories are a great way to catch up with people you follow or quickly share your thoughts with your followers. However, they only last 24 hours. Instagram is reportedly testing a new “Story Highlights” feature, which will display followers’ old Stories at the end of the Stories tray, which is the area at the top of your feed where you see your friends’ Stories.

The feature is currently being tested and only a few accounts have access to it.

“We’re always working on new ways to help people connect in Stories and testing recent highlights at the end of the set with a small group of people,” a Meta spokesperson told TechCrunch.

This feature was first spotted by social media expert Ahmed Ghanem, who posted an image on X, formerly Twitter, of what it would look like when Instagram rolled it out to everyone.

It’s also important to note that the Story Highlights feature will only work for common followers and users must save their stories to their profile for them to be available in Highlights.
