Hiding Your Instagram Story

Steps
1Open the Instagram app on your smartphone. It’s the purple, pink, and orange icon with a white camera inside. You can usually find its icon in your app drawer or on the home screen.- Log in to your Instagram account with username and passwords, if you haven't already done so.
