How long do IG stories last on Instagram?

According to Instagram rules, a story has a time limitation and cannot last more than a limited time on the feed.

The Ig story lasts for 24 hours or a day, and after 24 hours, the story will disappear from the Instagram feed, and your audience can only see your story if you add your story to highlight.

Indeed, if you share your story on Instagram and it disappears before 24 hours, it has nothing to do with you. It relates to app glitches and can only do something once the app resolves the issue.

So, when you add your story to the highlight section, your followers can see your story on your page by tapping on the highlight. It does not remain in the feed section.

Adding a story to highlight allows your story to remain on your page forever until you remove it from your highlights.

Even if you don’t add your stories to the highlight section, they will remain in your story archive section, and you can check them.
