How to like an Instagram story - [Quick answer]

Loving Instagram posts used to be something amazing and innovative, but today it's all about liking an Instagram story.

This may be something you've never heard of before; it's new to you because it's only recently become available to Instagram users.

In the past, you could simply react or reply to other people's Instagram stories, but now it's all about liking them.

By making this announcement, the social network is adapting to changing technological trends in order to remain relevant, user-friendly and topical. Allowing stories to be liked facilitates use of the network, but above all post management.

Here's how to like an Instagram story:

1. Open the Instagram app and go to the story you want to like.
2. You'll notice a heart-shaped button next to the message icon at the bottom right of the screen.
3. Click on it, it should turn red. That's it, you've liked your friend's Instagram story.

How do you find out who has "liked" your Instagram Stories?

Only you can see who has liked your Insta stories. There are 2 ways to see your Insta stories likes:

1- From your notification center:

When you're on the app and click on the heart icon in the top right, you'll access your notification center.

Here you'll be able to find all the likes you've received on your stories in a timeless way.

2- From the story itself:

When you've published your story less than 24 hours ago, you can see the list of people who have seen and liked your content.

To do this, simply swipe up when you're on your story. Followers who have liked your story will then be marked with a little red heart next to their username.

Tada! Now you know how to check who liked your Instagram story.

Can anyone see if I like their Instagram story?

Yes, people can see if you like their Instagram story.

But only the manager of the account that published the Insta story can see the likes they've gotten. The likes of stories are private and cannot be seen by other users of the social network.
