Instagram stories repeating: Why is Instagram repeating stories?
The problem appears that Instagram does not retain where you left off when viewing someone’s stories. For example, if one of my friends has posted five stories and I view four of them before swiping away the next time I tap on their icon, I should see their fifth story. Instead, Instagram is now prompting me to go through the four I’ve already seen each time I go to see the story. This also becomes an issue when someone publishes a new story on their feed.
