Are you tired of missing out on your friends' and favorite influencers' Instagram stories just because they're no longer available after 24 hours? Well, we have some exciting news for you. Instagram is working on a feature that will allow you to catch up on week-old stories.
What's the New Feature All About?
The new feature, known as Story Highlights, will show you unseen stories from the past week at the end of your story tray. This means that once you've finished seeing all the current stories, you can use Story Highlights to catch up on any stories you might have missed.
How Does it Work?
According to Ahmed Ghanem, a social media expert who first spotted this feature, Story Highlights will only display stories from mutual followers.

Another condition is that the story must be saved by the user themselves before it can be displayed in the highlights. This ensures that you'll only see stories that are relevant to you and your interests.
When Will We Get To See This Feature?
Unfortunately, we don't have a clear answer on when we can expect to see Story Highlights roll out for everyone. The feature is currently in testing phase, so it's likely that we won't see it until next year at the earliest.
What Does This Mean for Instagram Users?
The introduction of Story Highlights has the potential to revolutionize the way we consume content on Instagram. No longer will you have to miss out on your favorite influencers' stories just because they're no longer available after 24 hours. With Story Highlights, you'll be able to catch up on any stories you might have missed, and enjoy a more seamless and enjoyable experience on the platform.
