Why are not stories displayed in the Instagram?

Last summer Instagram presented a sufficiently large-scale update, which users of the social network could not miss. This is an innovation, which until now, after a year, is of interest to users. Developers promote Instagram Stories, as an opportunity to share interesting moments from life.

Updating Stories, which in Russian translation sounds like "Stories", allows you to publish photos, small videos with the addition of marks, text or emoji. The main sense of such posts is that they do not stay in the tape forever, but are deleted in a day.

What is this for?

The developer said that the innovation is necessary to reduce the "cluttering tape." "Stories" are designed to remove from the news all the unimportant information from the daily life of users. All photos that are not the user did not post because of poor quality, irrelevance, will no longer simply take up memory. They can be shared with friends without fear of contaminating the tape with unnecessary information. They are viewed only by someone who is interested.

Do not work "History"

Why does not History show in Instagram? Usually, most of the problems in the operation of the service are due to faults in the phone. When it does not load, the history crashes when loading it is worth looking for a fault on your part.

Reason # 1: obsolete Instagram client

Any update of the software part, especially when it comes to applications, is accompanied by a small number of people to whom the new function will not be available. When the download does not load, first of all you need to check if the client of the social network is updated on the smartphone.

You can check for updates and the relevance of apps in official Google Play stores or the App Store (depending on your operating system).

Reason # 2: unstable, weak Internet connection

Do not work stories in Instagram? Video is not loaded? Often, all problems with viewing are related to the quality of the Internet connection (the photo was lost when downloading, etc.). Solve the problem simply: connect to another network, where the speed and quality is higher, try again to lay out a "story" for friends.

Reason # 3: your device is out of date and unable to support the new version of Instagram

Far from everyone can see the history. If you use an old smartphone, then you need to take into account that the new versions of the application no longer support everything running the OS. For example, when working with only devices supported, starting with the version of iOS is not lower than 7, in the case of Android it all depends on the specific characteristics of the phone.

Download the video in the history can only be from the current version of the application. If for some reason your smartphone no longer receives updates, then the problem will be solved only by updating the device to a newer model.

I can not buy a new phone, what should I do? The history function officially works only in the application and disappears on the site. There is a special extension for the Google Chrome browser that adds "disappearing stories" to the computer.

Installing an extension to view the history on your computer:

1. Launch the browser and go to the extensions, where you need to find the "Chrome IG Story". Click Install, and in the open window "Install Extension".
2. Now go to the official page of Instagram, where "History" opens now.

Reason # 4: System date issues

The problem pops up when the correct date is not set on the device, which would match the Instagram. You will see the history only if you are installed in the tuner for a couple of days ago. Usually, with an application update, these buggies are fixed.

Reason # 5: a problem with your smartphone

A smartphone is a complex device that can periodically slow down and malfunction. Because of this, sometimes stories are not published, videos are not displayed, poor communication quality is observed (there is no Internet, it can not be neglected). You can try to just reset the smartphone, then try to do everything again (especially if it showed an error). In case of serious problems you will have to buy a new device.

Hidden History

Sometimes your friends do not see the story, or you do not see "stories" of friends, because they are hidden (photos are laid out, but not all of them see). Make it simple:

1. When creating a story, just click on the wheel in the corner of the screen.
2. Find in the section "Hide history from".
3. A window will open, where you select those users who should not see your publications.
4. Click "Done".

You can hide the already published story:

1. Click on your story in the news feed.
2. Find the "ellipses" sign at the bottom of the display, and go to "History Settings".
3. Again, a window opens where just select the right people and click on "Done".

Conclusion

Why is the story published if it is hidden from people? Almost all the problems associated with displaying and downloading stories are associated with your phone. Having decided them, the books will be published and will be available. Rarely, when the problem is in Instagram itself, and if so, then all that remains to the user is to wait for updates in which bugs will fix.
