If you like a story on Instagram, then the user who posted it will be able to see your interaction as a little love heart whenever they look at the stats for each story that they post.

With Instagram removing the ability to see which users have viewed and watched a story, generally the “like” is the only way to see which users have definitely engaged with your content – making it a valuable piece of information for brands, creators, and personal account managers alike.

But how exactly do you like an Instagram story? Well, it couldn’t really be easier.

3 Steps to Like an Instagram Story

  1. To view a user’s story, click on their profile picture – either from the top carousel on your home screen, or directly from their profile or your DM inbox chat with them
