The ability to review previously interacted-with ephemeral content on the Instagram platform is a sought-after feature by many users. While Instagram provides records of some activity, such as liked posts, the specific retrieval of viewed and “liked” stories presents limitations due to the platform’s design for disappearing content.
Understanding the functionality and constraints surrounding access to past Instagram story interactions is crucial for both individual users and those involved in social media analytics. Knowing which story content received a positive reaction (indicated by a ‘like’ or similar interaction where applicable) could potentially provide insights into user preferences and engagement patterns. However, the inherent nature of stories as temporary content complicates data retention and subsequent user access.
