Stories are a popular Instagram feature, so it’s even more annoying when a user’s Stories that you could see before are no longer displayed. In this practical tip, we’ll tell you what the problem might be.
Instagram “This story is not available” – This could be the reason:
If you can’t see a user’s story on Instagram, it could be for a variety of reasons.
- So you should check whether you have a stable internet connection. If not, you will only be shown stories that were preloaded the last time you had an internet connection.
- A bug may also be to blame for the problem. For example, closing the app or logging out and logging in again within the app may solve the problem.
- Furthermore, you should check if you have the latest app version of Instagram. If not, download the latest version for Android and iPhones and update the apps.
What else can I do?
If you continue to not see Instagram Stories after following the tips above, it may be due to the following:
- The person has blocked you: If someone has blocked you on Instagram, you will not be able to see their posts. This includes Stories.
- You’ve accidentally hidden the Story: On Instagram, it’s easy to hide a Story. The respective story must be long-tapped and can then be hidden in the context menu that opens up.
- When this has happened, the story will not be shown to you until you activate it again. To do this, open Instagram and scroll all the way to the right in the Story bar. Here you can reactivate the user’s grey Story.
- Instagram has a glitch: Even though this does not happen often, it is still possible that Instagram has a glitch. You can check this on allestörungen.de or on the website “Is it down right now? “
