How can I stop IG from showing old stories?

You could try updating the extension. Sometimes, developers release updates to fix bugs like showing old content instead of new ones.

Maybe it's a glitch in the app. Sometimes, bugs in the system can cause it to display old content instead of the latest ones.

It could be that your feed preferences are set in a way that's pulling up older content. Or, sometimes IG's algorithm decides to show older stories for various reasons that aren't always clear.

You can usually do this by adjusting your settings within the app or platform. Look for options like 'News Feed Preferences' or 'Content Settings'.

You can't directly watch old Instagram stories in the regular way as they are designed to be short - lived. However, some third - party apps claim to let you view old stories, but be careful as using such apps may violate Instagram's terms of service.

You can't directly view old ig stories in the normal story section. However, some people might have saved them as highlights on their profile, so you can check there.

You can try to look in the Instagram archive. Instagram allows you to save your stories to your archive, and you can access it to find old ones. Just go to your profile, click on the menu (usually three lines in the top right corner), and there should be an 'Archive' option where your old stories might be.

If the account has enabled highlights, some of their old stories might be saved there and you can view them. Also, some third - party apps claim to let you view old IG stories, but be careful as using such apps may violate Instagram's terms of service.

You can make your Instagram account private. Then only your approved followers can view your stories.

Sure, if that's what you want.
