It has been almost a year since Instagram launched a feature similar to Snapchat named Stories but received more than the original. With more than 200 million users of Stories every day, Instagram has made a bigger change than ever when introducing two types of Stories on Tuesday, namely, Location Stories and Hashtag Stories. Now you will never worry about listening to the stories on Stories.
Location-based Stories, now available on Instagram, allows users to search for any city, building, location and see related Stories in that location.
Location Stories takes images from Instagram users' posts on Stories with the application's location sticker to determine where the image or video will be taken. Users also know when their story is displayed on Story by looking at View views.

Hashtag Stories will be released soon in the coming weeks, bringing up all images or videos that use a certain hashtag. Like Location Stories, users can also personalize based on personal preferences.

Personal settings are still the same as before, public accounts can be seen by everyone, and Private accounts only followers. These new Stories versions are also quite similar to Snapchat's new update, which is the search engine. They also operate purely on algorithms, without human intervention. However, Instagram's algorithm is based on personal interests like the person you follow or the type of account you interact with a lot.
Instagram product manager Blake Barnes said: "We use many signs to understand what you like and don't like. From there we apply to Stories." "One of the very important things for us is to ensure a world-class application. The only way is to use algorithms to see great things from all over the world."
This is different from Snapchat's approach based on the editor of the application, selecting Our Stories. With Instagram, when Stories has become the center of the application since this feature was launched, it will attract more users when you just want it, never lack new Stories to watch.
