Instagram Stories opens up to ALL content, regardless of when you created it
You might argue it’s a move that takes away from the spontaneity of Insta Stories, but really, Instagram’s newest development makes our lives a lot easier. Users are now able to upload photos and videos of any age to Stories — meaning that there’s no more pressure to share your content within 24h of its creation.

This development could lead to better, more thought-through Stories from users, as narratives become less about the “here and now”, and more about the flow and purpose of the narrative itself. However, could Stories, a fast-growing, super-engaged product, also lose its edge as a result?
Time will tell. But for now, don’t worry about time.
