How to Hide Instagram Stories from Certain People

Instagram story or an Insta Story is the most popular feature of Instagram. Here in this post, I’ll be explaining how to hide Instagram stories from certain people online. Although everything posted in the story will disappear after 24 hours, it does not prevent users from sharing stories with their friends or family online. Some people post a lot of things every day on Instagram. This proves that this feature is very popular, showing your Instagram stories to a selected number of people.

Insta Story has no limit on the number of posts per day, which is one of the reasons people upload so many photos and videos every day. In this post, you will find information on how to hide Instagram stories from unwanted users. You can also refer to our last article about How to link Facebook to an Instagram page here.

But there are times when the moments you upload on Instagram are not known to some people who follow you. For example, a picture of a Party you want to hide from a friend who was not invited to the party. To avoid misunderstanding between you and your friend, it is better to hide the unwanted stuff from them.

Or if there are strangers, they can see your Instagram story. Even though you want the post to be seen only by known people. Check out the step-by-step guide on how to hide a story from a username by going into Instagram account privacy settings.
