On the famous photographic social you can select users to whom not to show our images in time, here’s how to set this feature
Instagram Stories are a fun way to share with our friends and family all the main events of our day. Despite this, however, it may happen that we want to hide a particular photo from some followers. Luckily, it only takes a few clicks to do so.
The photos included in the Stories of Instagram are disappearing, this means that after 24 hours of publication will disappear, and no one can see them anymore. Apart from this time limit, however, by default all the images we post in the Stories are visible to everyone. Or only for our friends if we have set the profile as private. If to protect our privacy we want to limit the display of Instagram Stories only to certain users, however, we can do so. And we’ll just need a few steps, both on iPhone and Android smartphones.
How to hide Instagram stories
Instagram is one of the platforms most used by hackers and malicious to spy on users, especially those with many followers. Sometimes cyber criminals take a screenshot of the selfies and images uploaded by users and then reuse the photos at will. However, we can defend ourselves from this unpleasant event. First, we need to access the Instagram application from our smartphone. Then we press on the profile icon. At this point we select the entry Settings (the three vertical dots on the page of our profile). In the new tab that opens we must press on the item “History Settings”.
In this section we can choose whether to save the photos in the archive or in the gallery. But most importantly we can prevent sharing. If we uncheck the Allow sharing item our followers will not be able to share our story in turn. In addition to this setting we will be able to select the “Hide Story from” feature. By clicking on the number under this heading (at first it will be 0) we will access the list of our contacts and here we can choose who to include in the “black list” that will not display our Stories. Once the selection is complete we tap the check in the upper right corner to save the changes. And that’s it.
