From Downloadosurce.es we have already released the new Featured Stories feature and Stories archive on Instagram for both iOS and Android devices. These functions basically what allow you to keep a record of your Stories so that you can permanently display any of them on your Instagram profile. However, this new feature has not been liked by everyone and that is why many wonder how to disable the outstanding stories of Instagram.

When we have the Instagram file function activated, all the photos and videos published as Stories will be saved in a new section of your profile. This not only allows you to view these stories beyond the 24 hours that a priori would be available. But this is not all, since the main reason for this registration is the possibility of marking these Stories as outstanding so that they are also publicly shown to all Instagram users..
The problem is that these featured stories are totally public and any other user who visits your profile will be able to see them, even if this user does not follow you. This for some is a problem in terms of privacy and that is why they wonder how to disable the Featured Stories feature of Instagram . First of all say that there is no specific function to disable Featured Stories by disabling the Story Archive feature .
This will ensure that the published Stories are not stored in the Archive and we have nothing to publish in our Featured Stories section. However, if what we want is to deactivate the Featured Instagram Stories of your profile, it will be enough to not publish any. In this way we will also make our publications more relevant in our profile since the space occupied by the Featured Stories will be recovered..
Having said this, we want to show you how to deactivate the Archive of Stories as well as the Featured Stories:
How to disable Featured Stories and Story Archive on Instagram for Android and iOS.
All you have to do is access your Instagram account from the app on your iPhone or Android. Once inside you will have to go to your profile where you will click on the clock icon at the top of the screen. This will take you to the Story Archive where you must click on the icon in the form of three dots in the upper right corner.
This will open a menu in which you will have to select the configuration option. Line will often be sent to a new window in which you will have to disable the option: Save to file . (Automatically save photos and videos to your file so you don't have to save them to your phone. Once it's gone from your story, only you can see them.)
Alternative: You can also access this Setting from: Profile> three dots icon> Story settings> Save to File.
This means that from this moment on when we publish a photo or video in our Stories, the option Highlight with the heart icon is not shown, which prevents us from being able to publish it in the Featured section..
However, if you still have a featured story published, it will continue to be shown publicly. To stop showing the Featured Stories on your Instagram profile, you must delete them, which you can do just by selecting them from your profile. When the History is displayed, click to know the More option. This causes a menu to be displayed in which you will have to select the Delete option from the highlighted elements .
Only now will our Featured Instagram Stories section be hidden and not visible to any other user. In addition, none of our stories will be stored in the registry and we will not have any outstanding History as we do not have any registry in the Stories file.
