The social network has a function that allows you to limit the circle of viewers of stories. At the same time, you can leave users access to publications in the profile. It is possible to hide the stories of those people who are not interesting to you.
How to Hide User Stories from Your Instagram Feed
If a particular person constantly posts uninteresting stories, or there are so many of them that the user might miss something really important, it makes sense to hide them from the feed.
To do this, click on the user's avatar at the top and hold it for a couple of seconds until a pop-up menu appears, in which you need to select the "hide" function.
Hide history
After that, select the option: hide only stories or also publications.
Hide history/and posts
If you hide stories of good friends, you don’t have to viber data worry about offending them. They won’t receive any notifications about your actions. Only the most attentive users who constantly monitor the list of viewers will be able to guess that you have hidden stories.
If you select the "hide stories only" option but are following this person, you will continue to see their new posts in your feed.
How to Hide Your Instagram Stories
There are three ways to limit the audience. Choose the most convenient and suitable for your tasks.
Closed account

Blacklist
The second way is to add a specific user to the blacklist. They will no longer see any stories or publications and will disappear from the list of subscribers altogether.

They will benefit from creating a list of best friends for whom some stories will be available.
Go to the user's page, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select the "Block" option in the drop-down window.
