Instagram does not stop updating, one of the tests that is being done is the type of format with which the new Stories will be seen , now we can scroll to see the Instagram Stories .
In the event that this new function reaches the whole world, the way of viewing Instagram Stories will be completely changed because now we will see them in scroll format, just as we see videos from apps such as TikTok or Instagram Reels.
A user on Twitter has published a video in which you can see how Instagram Stories look now and we can see that it is in scroll format. It seems that at the moment these tests are being carried out in Turkey, but they will surely reach the rest of the countries very soon.
Now you will have to scroll to see the Instagram Stories
It seems that Instagram is testing a function that could arrive in February 2022, in which the app’s Stories will begin to be seen in a completely different format than the one we currently have, that format would be scroll.
The scroll movement is much more natural than the current movement or touches that we have to do to see the Instagram Stories, therefore, a new way of seeing them will arrive very soon that will be the closest thing to TikTok since they will be seen in vertical format .
As we have mentioned before, these tests are only being done in Turkey , but they will surely reach the beta version of the app in the rest of the countries very soon, or perhaps it will reach the rest of the users in a stable way. If we think about it, Instagram may try to move away from static publications such as photos, that is, it would give priority to videos, to compete even more with TikTok .
In the event that the vertical Stories reach Instagram , it may be a change that users do not like at all, since there is a small chaos within the app that tries to mix everything, that case is called “Explore Tab” where we can find publications of all kinds and also the Reels.
