Add effects: Like Snapchat, you can add doodles, text, stickers, live face filters, and geostickers to your story. Add music: There’s also the ability to add songs directly to your Stories. See who’s watching your story: When watching your own story, swipe up to see who’s watched each photo and video. Make your story private: If your account is set to private, your story will only be visible to your followers. You can also hide your entire story from anyone you don’t want to see it, even if they follow you. Post your story to your profile: Your Instagram Story by default won’t appear on your profile grid or in feed, but you can choose to feature a particular part of your story by posting it on your profile or you can add it as a Highlight.
