How to share a story on Instagram
Instagram offers a section to share daily activities or those special moments and which will be kept for 24 hours on the social network. These are the stories, in which it turns out to be too easy to publish or add any image, video, photo, memory and more ...

Can I set up my Stories so that only a few see them?
Many users think that sharing their stories on Instagram with some of their followers is not possible; But it turns out that there are some simple tricks with which you can give a touch of privacy or limit who sees your stories.
You can select a group of your followers such as "best friends" and share stories only with those on that list. Another option is that you can block some followers to segment in this way or limit them from seeing the stories on your account; And in case you don't want to block them, you can hide story views from many of your followers.
How to share with a specific contact?
There are several ways to share stories with specific people. Either way, only one allows you to do this without them noticing, follow these steps to share your Instagram Stories with one person:
- The first step is to log into the Instagram account from which we want to share the story. Once you have successfully logged in, it is time to start the process.
- Click on the icon that directs you to yours Profile, you can access it easily, it is the icon with the figure of a person located at the bottom and on the right.
- Once you are in your profile, click on the three horizontal lines located at the top and right.
- Click on Settings which you will find all the way to the bottom of the screen.
- In the configuration screen you need to locate the Privacy section, once pressed on it, the multiple options available in the system will be displayed, go to Chronology.
- Hide history will be displayed as the first option, you need to click on this section.
- After clicking on the option, all your contacts will appear on the screen, select all the ones you want to hide your story from. Remember not to select the contacts you want to show the story to.
- Click on affirmative symbol located at the top and right and you will have your account configured to show history only to the contacts you have chosen.
The former is a complicated method, but it is the only one with which you can share a story with one or more people defined, without them realizing that it is shared only with them.
Note that there is also a method to hide your Instagram photos from a person without deleting them, which you could use in conjunction with the one mentioned above. On the other hand, it is also possible to complete the activity in the previous guide using the Best Friends method.
Share stories with my best friend using a sticker
Before leaving the best friends section, there was a similar option; which was based on sharing your stories through a Sticker but only with up to one hundred people. But it was actually a very feasible alternative to share your Instagram Stories with limited people.
Although, for some time, Instagram has created the service of best friends through which you can only share content with a select group of contacts, although it can also be a person.
It's a good method where if you want to share a story with just one person, the problem is that they'll find that the post was only shared with them.
However, before you start, you'll need to remove those people you had on your Instagram best friends list, leaving only the one you want to share the post with.
- Click the icon again to access yours Profile and then on the three horizontal lines located at the top and right.
- There you need to click Settings. In this section, locate the card Privacy and click.
- Within the privacy options you need to locate the Stories tab, click there.
- You may notice that there is a tab called Best friends, click on it.
- The Start button will appear on the screen.
- Now you need to select the contact (s) you want to share your best friends' stories with. When you're done, you just need to click Create a list.
- When you publish a story, remember before sending it to select the Best friends icon.
- All content shared in this section will be shown only with those that are within the list you have previously selected.
The previous method is much faster than the first one we teach you, but as we pointed out earlier, the person you share the content with will find that they are in the best friends list. Either way, it's a useful option for sharing an Instagram story with one or more defined people.
On the other hand, there is also an alternative to this method, which we can use when activating and sharing group stories on Instagram. This way you can also share stories with a select group of people.
