Instagram allows you to hide stories from specific users, but sometimes that isn&#8217;t enough. Here are some ways to hide stories from certain users and Unhide them temporarily. If you want to share your story with only a selected group of followers, consider using the &#8216;Close Friends&#8217; feature.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"show_more_option_on_instagram_isnt_enough\"><\/span>&#8216;show more&#8217; option on instagram isn&#8217;t enough<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram recently tested hiding some stories and users had mixed reactions. The&#8217;show more&#8217; option was not enough, and users claimed that hiding stories could lead to less engagement. After discovering the feature through Twitter, users shared their thoughts on the feature. They said they would like to see the stories of their followers but didn&#8217;t want to hide them, and that hiding the stories would affect their engagement.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to hiding the story, you can also customize the font and add images and hashtags to it. This will make it easier for viewers to view your story without sifting through dozens of stories. Instagram is currently testing a new UI that will allow users to choose the number of stories they want to see, but it doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s the only way to hide stories.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unhide_stories_from_specific_users\"><\/span>Unhide stories from specific users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to see stories from a certain user, you can now do so. The Instagram app allows you to hide stories from specific users and configure which people can see your stories. To do this, click on the &#8220;Configure&#8221; icon in your profile, then select the &#8216;Hidden Stories&#8217; option. You&#8217;ll then be able to see which stories you&#8217;ve hidden, and how many of them you&#8217;ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>Hide stories from specific users is a common way to hide posts on Instagram. When you hide stories from other users, you can still see them on your profile. However, this will prevent your followers from seeing your posts. It&#8217;s also possible to unhide stories from specific users after they&#8217;ve been hidden. Alternatively, you can also hide stories from all users on Instagram and allow only certain people to view your stories.<\/p>\n<p>To unhide stories from specific users on Instagram, you have to follow them first. This will make them appear greyed out. In addition, you won&#8217;t see any colorful ring around these accounts. Once you&#8217;ve done that, go to the settings tab and disable the toggle for Stories. You should then see stories from the user you&#8217;ve followed. You can also turn off their privacy setting so that others can see their stories.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporarily_hide_a_story_from_a_particular_user\"><\/span>Temporarily hide a story from a particular user<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram has an option for you to temporarily hide a story from a specific user. However, if you want your story to be visible only to followers, it is important to remember that stories will still be seen by users who aren&#8217;t following you. If you want to hide your story from someone who isn&#8217;t following you, here&#8217;s how you do it:<\/p>\n<p>You can hide the stories of Instagram accounts from a particular user by selecting a list of followers. Then, choose the ones that you want to hide. Once you have chosen the list, tap the &#8220;Private&#8221; button. This will ensure that only those who are your followers can see your stories. If you want to hide a story from a particular user but you still want to share it with others, you must be a private user.<\/p>\n<p>You can also temporarily hide a story on Instagram from a certain user. The feature was introduced two years ago. When you hide a story from a specific user, it will not be visible to others until you choose to update it. Then, when you want to re-share the story, you need to choose a new user. You can only choose one user for each story, so choose the most appropriate person for that specific user.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Story on Instagram If the&#8217;show more&#8217; option on Instagram isn&#8217;t enough for you, there are a few things you can do.
