Those who use Instagram intensively, whether they are creators, influencers or simple passionate users, will have noticed an anomalous behavior in recent months: Publish more stories on the same day led to a reduction in the overall flow ratewith a drop in views that ended up discouraging the use of one of the most popular functions of the platform; Now, finally, the problem seems to have been solved.
Fixed the Instagram bug of the stories
The confirmation comes directly from Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, who in a video released on the platform admitted the existence of the bug; According to what was declared, “People complained of getting less coverage with their stories they published many on the same day“, Behavior that was not expected or wanted by the development team.
With the update in distribution, the defect was correctpublishing more stories in sequence will no longer have a negative impact on visibility, in particular on the first, which often was penalized compared to the following ones.
It is good to clarify that correction does not mean that all the published stories will be seen or will receive a I like On the part of all followers, the dynamics in fact remains the same, the algorithm continues to determine to whom to show the contents based on individual intentions and preferences; However, what fails is that artificial penalty that made it less convenient to share more moments of the day.
For ordinary users who use stories just to keep in touch with friends and acquaintances, the novelty could have a marginal impact; For Creators or for those who make Instagram, a work tool, on the other hand, the change is significant, to be sure that the publication frequency does not negatively affect the overall scope allows you to experiment with greater freedom and to structure more solid content strategies.
Instagram, exactly like YouTube, is becoming more and more a professional platform, where small changes under the hood can radically change the way in which the contents are created, distributed and monetized. Not surprisingly, each announcement of Mosseri is followed with extreme attention by the Creators, who try to interpret every detail to optimize their online presence.
In this context, the correction of a bug is not a simple technical intervention, but an important signal: Instagram wants to ensure that the dynamics of visibility are consistent, transparent and above all predictable for those who use stories as the main tool for communication and growth.
Users will therefore have to observe in the next few days if the modification will be reflected concretely in the engagement statistics, publishing more stories is no longer a risk, on the contrary, it returns to being a free and potentially advantageous choice.
