Instagram is reportedly testing a new "Story Highlights" feature, which will display older stories from followers at the end of the Stories tray. The Stories tray is the area at the top of Instagram feed where users see Stories from friends.
The feature is currently being tested, and only a few accounts have access to it. The Story Highlights feature will, however, only work for mutual followers, and users have to save their stories on their profile.
This feature was first spotted by social media expert Ahmed Ghanem, who posted an image on X, formerly Twitter, of how this would look when Instagram rolls it out for everyone.
"We’re always working on new ways to help people connect in Stories and are testing bringing recent Highlights to the end of the tray with a small group of people," a Meta spokesperson said.
Instagram Stories are a great way to catch up with people one follows or shares one’s thoughts with followers quickly. Hitherto, these stories last only for 24 hours. The new feature being tested will change this rule now.
