This way the story can be relived on a future date in the Stories Highlights feature. Tap the Archive icon on your profile and you will see your Post Archive and Stories Archive. In the Stories Archive, all your stories will appear as a grid where the most recent story would be at the bottom. The archive is private and therefore only you can see it. You can also turn off auto-archiving in your profile settings any time you want. [caption id=“attachment_4245009” align=“alignnone” width=“1024”] Instagram Stories Highlights.
