But will my crush have viewed my story? A question that can only be answered in one way: scrolling through all the contacts they viewed in search of the person in question. But everything could finally change. In fact, after removing the 15-second limit to stories, Instagram would now be testing a new feature: a search bar in instastories.
This will allow users to search by username, returning the results they viewed a particular story.
What do we know about the search bar in Instagram Stories
The novelty was “discovered” by Alessandro Paluzzi, which in the past has already unveiled a number of features of the Meta social network. Paluzzi has published a screenshot of this feature on his Instagram profile. Screen that you can find below.
As can be seen from the image, the user can now manually search for who has viewed (or not viewed) a particular story. This is a definite feature useful for those who have many followersand that would then have to scroll quite a bit to find a particular user in the list.
And if you find your crush on the list. You just have to cultivate a healthy hope.
Meanwhile, just last week, Instagram abolished the 15-second limit for a single story. Content can now be uploaded, without being split into multiple stories, up to a maximum of 60 seconds.
