View someone's Instagram story
You can see stories from people you follow on Instagram. If someone has shared a story you haven't seen yet, you'll see a colorful ring around their profile picture.
Stories appear in a row at the top of your feed. If someone you follow has posted a story, you can see it by doing any of the following options:
- Tap their profile picture at the top of Feed.
- Go to their profile and tap their profile picture.
- Tap their profile picture next to a post they've shared in Feed.
- Tap their profile picture in Direct inbox or in a thread.
When you view stories from the top of your feed, they automatically scroll from one person's to the next. You can tap the screen to skip to the next photo or video, or swipe right or left to skip between people's stories. Swipe down on the screen to exit someone's story and return to feed.
Keep in mind that when you see someone's story, they'll be able to tell that you've seen it.
