Instagram to soon allow users to share profiles to stories

Instagram, the popular Meta-owned audio and video sharing platform, is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to post other people’s profiles as stories. According to a recent post on X (formerly Twitter) by the known tipster Alessandro Paluzzi, profiles posted as stories will display the person’s first three posts and information like profile name and bio. It will work similarly to the existing ‘Add to Story’ option and allow users to follow the profile shared as a ‘Story’. The newly added feature will enable users to directly give a shout-out to their favorite creators by letting them post their profile as a story and also let the audience know what type of content they create. Similar to photos and videos posted as ‘Stories’, the shared profiles are expected to disappear after 24 hours. Since the feature is currently in development, it is still unclear when users will be able to add profiles to their 'Stories'.
