As shared by a Brazilian user who’s under this testing, Instagram will only show the first three Stories slides and hides the rest. Though viewers can click on Show All button to watch the rest, they may better skip avoiding watching useless content.

A New Story Layout on Instagram

Realizing that users are posting everything they experience in their daily lives as static posts, Instagram introduced Stories to avoid junk. Stories are an interesting concept, where anything users post disappears after 24 hours.

But this too is being exploited by users for bad. Knowing that they disappear after a day, people are posting random things that are mostly unnecessary, filling their followers’ feed with junk again. Thus, Instagram is seen testing a new Story Layout, that’d limit this type of behavior.

Olha só como está. Pra ver todos tem de clicar no “Mostrar tudo” pic.twitter.com/cHrHL6enUD — Phil Ricelle (@philricelle) May 17, 2022
