Instagram Stories is a feature within the Instagram app that allows users to share photos and videos with their followers. The content shared on Instagram Stories disappears after 24 hours, making it a temporary way to share information.

If you'd like your stories to last longer than 24 hours, you have the option to pin them to your account. So when someone comes to your profile, the stories you save will be pinned at the top.
