How do you search stories on Instagram?

Instagram stories are located in a bar at the top of your newsfeed and are represented by a multicolored ring around the profile picture of the story’s creator. Tap the profile picture, and the story opens full screen for you to watch.

How can you see old Instagram stories?

All you need to do to access this folder is tap on three horizontal lines in the upper right-hand corner from you profile page. Tap on ‘Archive’ (it should be the first option) and tap on the story you want to view.

Why can’t I see someone’s stories on Instagram?

If they don’t appear to have a live Story, and you don’t see them in your Stories tray automatically, chances are they’ve blocked you from being able to view them, or at least that one story.

Do Instagram stories disappear?

Photos and videos you share to your story disappear from Feed, your profile and Direct after 24 hours, unless you add it as a highlight. Keep in mind that you can also save photos and videos from your story or share your story to Feed.
