Question Can't Explore Stories On Instagram ?

[williamosirian]

Hi guys, probably not the right forum to be asking this but I am sure a lot of you use Instagram. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I remember I used to be able to view recent stories that people have posted on Instagram when exploring Hashtags, but for some weird reason I am not able to view stories anymore when viewing hashtags and I haven't been able to do so for a long time now.

I attached a screenshot, this is from a friends account, he is experiencing the same problem. As you can see from the screenshot, there is no coloured ring around the picture in the top left corner just like you would see on someone's profile if they have posted a story. Just wondering if anyone else is encountering this problem or is it just me as I tried searching on google but I can't find any answers. Thanks!

I don't use Instagram but they changed quite a bit how the site works. Besides the issue you describe, now you can not view any content on Instagram if you're not logged in.

Instagram public profiles used to be where you could view them if you didn't had Instagram account. But now, only way to view the public profiles is only when you also have Instagram account.

As far as your issue goes, try viewing stories from PC.

Thanks for the reply, but viewing normal stories is not the issue I am having. The issue that I am having is viewing stories when I explore hashtags as shown in the screenshot. Some other people have told me that their accounts are the same. Is this happening for anyone else. Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks!
