How can I view old insta stories?

Well, viewing old insta stories can be a bit tricky. If you're looking for your own old stories, you can go to your archive. Instagram automatically saves your stories there. For other people's old stories, if they've used the highlight feature, you can see them there. But if they haven't saved or highlighted their old stories, chances are you won't be able to view them since Instagram stories are ephemeral by nature, lasting only 24 hours. Some third - party apps claim to be able to retrieve old stories, but using such apps may violate Instagram's terms of service.

Well, first, make sure you have the Instagram app installed on your device. Then, launch the app. At the top of the home page, you'll notice small circles which are the indicators for stories. If you follow a lot of accounts, there will be many of these. Tap on the one you're interested in. You might also see sponsored stories among them. Instagram's algorithm decides which stories to show first based on your interaction with different accounts, like who you interact with the most. So, sometimes the first few stories you see are from the accounts you engage with frequently.

Typically, secret insta stories are meant for a restricted audience. Unless you are part of that inner circle of friends or followers the account has chosen, there's no way to access them. There are no hacks or tricks that are ethical to view these private stories.

Open Instagram. The app is designed in such a way that it highlights new content like your friends' insta stories. If you follow a lot of people, it might be a bit overwhelming at first, but you'll get used to it. The stories are usually short -lasting, so if you miss one, it might disappear after 24 hours. Some stories might have interactive elements like polls or questions too, which makes it more engaging to view your friends' insta stories.

If you're really eager to see an old story from someone, you could try asking the person directly. They might be able to share the content with you again if they still have it. Maybe they have a backup of the photo or video on their phone. But of course, this depends on whether they're willing to do so.

Another option could be if the person who posted the story has a business or creator account and has archived their stories. They might be able to make those archived stories available again for viewing, but this is completely up to the account owner and not something you can control as a viewer.

So, it's not advisable to look for ways to access such stories through improper means.

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.
