i just love this a lot


You should be able to view anyone’s profile and click on their avatar photo and/or follow them and use the “stories” bubbles at the top.

thanks! i checked again and i can't find it anywhere on his profile, logged in or not so i'm guessing you have to actually be following people to see their stories (i feel really weird about following public figures on social media so will pass for now, but at least now i know!)sonicgreen wrote: Thu Feb 22, 2018 3:52 pmYou should be able to view anyone’s profile and click on their avatar photo and/or follow them and use the “stories” bubbles at the top.

I've had some randoms who I don't know viewing my instagram stories, so you don't need to follow someone to view it. Did you try clicking on his profile picture directly from his page? There should be a pink and orange gradient ring around his profile picture, signaling that he has a story you haven't viewed yet. Either that or maybe there's a glitch :/ahriem wrote: Thu Feb 22, 2018 4:40 pmthanks! i checked again and i can't find it anywhere on his profile, logged in or not so i'm guessing you have to actually be following people to see their stories (i feel really weird about following public figures on social media so will pass for now, but at least now i know!)sonicgreen wrote: Thu Feb 22, 2018 3:52 pmYou should be able to view anyone’s profile and click on their avatar photo and/or follow them and use the “stories” bubbles at the top.

yeah, there's nothing to click. after some googling i think maybe some people using the app were able to view stories anonymously (in the past?)obsessivelymoody wrote: Thu Feb 22, 2018 4:51 pmI've had some randoms who I don't know viewing my instagram stories, so you don't need to follow someone to view it.

You sometimes need to download an extension to view instagram stories. On my laptop (it's an hp i think, and I use google chrome), I had to download an extension to view an instagram story even if I'm following someone. (I don't have instagram but I got curious when people were talking about someone's ig story on here. Couldn't figure out for the longest time how to actually view the story, even when I made an account to follow since I thought that was the issue and it was frustrating me lol. So yeah, google something about downloading an ig story extension, and it should work after that)ahriem wrote: Thu Feb 22, 2018 3:39 pm this is a little off topic but i tried to find his instagram story this morning and couldn't. do you have to be following someone on instagram to see them?
