Instagram is the social network that is gaining more and more strength. Its thousands of followers grow like foam and this has made their functions increase almost daily..
Undoubtedly , Instagram stories is one of the most important features for many users. Millions of them are uploaded daily, to show the followers what is happening. This content has a duration of 24 hours, and then disappeared forever even for its author.
This initially seemed to attract attention, but over time people no longer seem to be so happy with this system. That is why Instagram developers decided to implement a story file . In this way the stories continue to disappear at 24 hours for the followers, but they are stored in a file within the App for the author..
To configure this and then be able to visit this file, we have to follow the steps detailed below.

Instagram gives you the possibility to add “Featured†stories that are archived from your Instagram. This is something useful, since the highlights will appear above the photos on the wall, which, unlike Instagram's 24-hour stories, can be seen by users even if one day has elapsed after their publication.
You can create several featured folders, rename them by theme and even add a cover. To know how to do it, click on the Post that we leave below:
