Have an Instagram Story question but keep finding tips for the feed or inbox instead? This page brings our story guides and news into one place. You can browse posts about music, replies, sharing and the controls around who sees a story. Choose the task you want to do, then check the date and scope of the guide before you follow its steps.
Find the right part of our story coverage
Instagram Stories can raise quite different questions. Adding music is not the same task as choosing an audience or sending a reply. Our archive includes a music guide, reports about question stickers and coverage of story replies. Start with the subject that fits your screen. That makes it easier to find a useful answer without trying settings meant for another part of the app.
For Instagram story sharing, look for posts about sharing routes and feed-related tests. For Instagram story privacy, check the coverage of Close Friends and questions about story views. Read each post’s limits with care. An old test or a past claim about a notification should not be treated as proof of what every account does today.
Explore replies and related topics
Our posts about Instagram story reactions and Instagram story messages cover ways people respond to a story. The related Instagram Direct archive is a useful next stop when your question moves into a chat. For image-based replies, browse our animated GIFs coverage. Follow the topic you need rather than mixing story controls with inbox settings.
Some Instagram story features in this collection were first reported as tests or rollouts. Posts about drafts, vertical stories and link gestures belong in that dated context. Check the article’s date, device and wording before using it to explain a screen you see now. A report about a planned change has a different purpose from a step-by-step guide.
For the wider app, return to Instagram. For other practical tasks across phones and apps, browse our technology how-to guides. Use the articles below to narrow down one question at a time, with clear room for both useful guides and the history of how stories have changed.
