Among the premium features of Instagram is the ability to view Stories without the author’s knowledge that you have viewed their post. Subscribers can also see how many people have re-watched their own Stories.
Additionally, subscription holders will be able to create an unlimited number of audience lists for Stories, apart from the close friends list. This means users can customize who sees each “story.”
Subscribers can also extend their “story” for an additional 24 hours and choose to show the “story” up to once a week, increasing its visibility by moving it to the top of the Stories panel for subscribers.
Subscribers will also be able to send animated “super likes” to other users’ Stories and search in the view list to quickly see if a specific person has viewed a particular post, instead of scrolling through the entire list.
Although Meta has not disclosed in which countries the premium subscription is being tested, social media reports indicate that the new paid feature is being tested in Mexico, Japan, and the Philippines.
Prices vary by country, and according to screenshots shared by users, it costs about $2.20 per month in Mexico, $2 in Japan, and approximately $1.10 in the Philippines.
Recall that we previously reported that Instagram updated the Stories section, adding editing capabilities using generative artificial intelligence. Now users will be able to change photos and videos in stories not only manually but also through requests to Meta AI.
It was also reported how to use Instagram without registration and maintain anonymity.
