Any responses to Instagram posts shared as stories will appear in the direct message inbox unless the user taps on the post within the story to comment on it directly. Posts shared for the Instagram feed can also be placed in a story to get more people-especially those who tend to use the platform mainly to check out stories-to look at them and engage with reactions. Instagram is versatile and offers many ways to share or spice up the content. They can also bypass the 24-hour limit by adding a story as an Instagram highlight. Users may want the option to preserve their daily moments by sharing them as a post on their page where people can see them even after the day is over.

Instagram Stories, by nature, only last for 24 hours, and after the time elapses, it disappears forever from the main feed, the user's profile, and any direct messages they were shared in.
