Instagram Likely To Launch Vertical Stories Feature: Here’s How It Will Work

After it launched the 'recently deleted feature,' Instagram is yet again planning to woo its users with another exciting feature. The social media giant is reportedly working on a 'Vertical Stories' feed that will allow users to scroll through posts vertically instead of horizontally. The feature was recently spotted under development by a technocrat on Twitter. However, it is still undergoing the testing phase and may not be released anytime soon.

According to a report in TechCrunch, the company officials confirmed that Instagram is testing the vertical stories feature. At present, the users have to swipe horizontally for moving to the next Story. But the new feature will let you enjoy the feed vertically just like the TikTok and Instagram reels.
