JAKARTA - Instagram Stories seems to be a bad experience for some users, so they have to go through all of someone's stories before they can see the new one.
This issue has been affecting some users since Monday, June 13th, and several Reddit users have reported the same thing happening to them.
Meta spokeswoman Christine Pai told The Verge in an email that the company is "aware that some people are having difficulty accessing Instagram Stories."
Pai said Instagram was "trying to get things back to normal as quickly as possible," and apologized for the inconvenience.

The root of the problem seems to be that Instagram doesn't remember where you left off when viewing someone's story. For example, if a friend has posted five stories, and the user viewed four of them before deleting them, the next time the user taps on their icon, the user will see their fifth story.
Instead, Instagram is currently bringing users back to the four they've viewed each time they view that story. The problem also arises when someone posts a new story to their feed.
It is currently unknown how many users were affected. There are a lot of people on Twitter who have reported that they had to rewatch the story. However, Instagram's fault is not trending topic as expected if the main feature is broken for everyone.
