Stories stay around for 24 hours and afterward they are not visible anymore. The circles have a purple-pink gleam around them if there’s another Story that you haven’t seen yet. Suppose your mate posts a video on their Stories. On Instagram Stories you can also do live videos and make Boomerangs.
If you don’t know what Instagram Stories are, they are the visuals that pop up when you tap circular profile pictures at top of your landing page.
