Instagram stories have become the favorite options of thousands of people to share their daily experiences with other users. Through them, it is possible to upload photos or videos that will remain visible on the social network for a period of 24 hours.
Whether you have an account public O private, you may want to prevent some people from accessing such content. Fortunately, there is a privacy feature in the app that will help you hide your posts only from the contacts you select.
How to hide your Instagram stories?
To control the privacy of the content you post on your Instagram profile, follow the steps below:

- Choose all users to whom you want to restrict the visibility of your publications.
From that moment on, every time you upload a new story to your account, Instagram will no longer show such content to the followers you previously chose. You can revert this setting at any time from the settings panel.
Another way to limit who can see your stories is through the function Close Friends (best friends), which allows you to create a list with certain users and exclusively share the publications you make with them.
