Are you seeing an IG story repeatedly? Here, we have explained how to fix Instagram stories repeating.
Instagram stories let you share great moments with your followers. When a user posts a story, people that follow them will be able to view the stories. In some cases, the public can see a story, based on appropriate settings.
When a story is posted, they remain on Instagram for 24 hours, after which it will be discarded. Therefore, you will be able to see a story as long as it is still within the timeframe.

To see an IG story, simply tap on the profile picture of the Instagram user. Available stories are usually listed beside the “Your story” icon from the Instagram homepage on the mobile app. Although, it is only visible to logged-in users.
However, some users are repeatedly viewing stories on Instagram. As a result, people are seeing old stories again which could have been caused by a glitch.
The way the story works, you can only view it when you tap on the user’s profile picture. As new stories enter, you will be able to see them in the list of the latest stories.
Besides, once viewed, they are sent to the list of viewed stories. If a user has posted a lot of stories, then viewing all their stories will take a while. This also explains the way we use stories on TikTok and WhatsApp status.
Below, we have explained why Instagram stories are showing repeatedly and how you can fix it.
