Why are my stories so big?

It could be that your story structure is expansive. You might want to consider tightening up the beginning, middle, and end to make it more manageable. Also, check if you're spending too much time on setting the scene or character backgrounds.

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 might be due to the high resolution of the images or videos you're uploading. Maybe you haven't adjusted the settings for size reduction.

Maybe you used a larger font size or increased the bubble dimensions by mistake.

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.

There might be a glitch or compatibility problem. Sometimes, updates or conflicts with other programs can cause the icons to appear larger than usual. Also, check if the resolution of your device is set correctly.

Maybe you're including too many details or subplots. Try to focus on the main storyline to make it more concise.
