The underlying problem appears to be that Instagram does not remember where you left off when viewing someone else’s stories. For example, if one of my friends has posted five tales and I read four of them before swiping away, I should see their fifth story the next time I tap on their symbol. Instead, each time I want to view the story, Instagram makes me go through the four I’ve already seen. The issue also arises when someone adds a new story to their feed.
