Why are my Instagram stories so big?

Well, sometimes it's due to the settings on your phone or the app. Check if your Instagram settings are set to capture or upload in large file formats. Another possibility is that you're sharing large files directly from your camera roll without optimizing them first.

Maybe it's because of the high-resolution images or videos you're using. Try lowering the quality to see if that helps.

There could be a few reasons. One possibility is that you're using a camera app with high-quality settings. Another is that the app itself might have some default settings that are causing the stories to be large. You could check both your device and the Instagram app settings to see if there's anything you can adjust.

It could be that you've added high-resolution images or long videos, which take up more space.

Maybe you added too many high-resolution images or videos. That could make the file size large.

I think it's because Instagram wants to provide a more immersive experience. The larger size allows for more details and better display of photos and videos.

Maybe it's to make the content more visible and engaging. Bigger stories could catch your attention more easily.

It might be because you've uploaded high-resolution images or videos. Maybe the settings on your phone are set to capture large-sized media for Instagram stories.

It could be that the format or aspect ratio of the content you're uploading doesn't match the standard Instagram requirements, causing it to appear big. Also, if you're using third-party apps for editing before posting, they might be altering the size. Have a look at these aspects to solve the issue.
