Meta-owned popular photo and video sharing social media platform, Instagram has been testing to update the Stories layout.

[{"selector":"#anim-dcef1f81-e8c3-4e10-93f0-aebc3996d592","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c0cb5809-0270-4877-b71b-5097d01b11cc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The new updated Story layout will hide the excessive posts shared by the account holder.

[{"selector":"#anim-66a63839-5339-4643-83b8-6d6db12a6b28","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca3691f5-91c6-4ccf-9bf8-575bcc558739","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 223.24390%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As spotted by a Brazilian Instagram user, Phil Ricelle, Instagram will show just three of the Stories shared by the users.

[{"selector":"#anim-f115831a-9f29-4cc1-9f6d-ddc3ee281f47","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-44508e01-9369-4404-b090-6d9b0da69fc2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Right now, users can see up to 100 Stories but with the rumoured layout, viewers will just see three Stories and a "Show All" option

[{"selector":"#anim-678c41f2-11e1-4d21-a91a-69decaa19553","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-75042588-729c-470d-8ad3-238f3a8b4a74","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

So that those who do not want to see all the Stories, can skip right ahead to the next person’s Stories.

[{"selector":"#anim-f85dada6-6ef3-4600-abba-3f209c2efadb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18b5c4ec-3b70-47a8-8c0e-aaeed9c9bd5d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 223.24390%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This layout might result in a massive drop in Story views, hence, bad news for creators and influencers on the platform.

[{"selector":"#anim-7a87100b-15ea-4afb-916e-704287d81181","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d2290b9-5f56-4a7e-8093-e9a6c6f8befb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Many users have a habit of going through all the Stories on the platform by clicking on the screen

[{"selector":"#anim-691971a2-0974-4ee0-8e5a-063319fdf597","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f61a78cd-8c5c-4b67-88c4-bcfd7faa1ee1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 223.24390%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, now they will need to think and select the option of "Show All" to watch the other Stories.

[{"selector":"#anim-8f878bb4-3446-4b9b-a4fe-e0307abd7277","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-abe22f9f-93aa-4004-993d-a1d6ab66191f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Notably, this layout is just in the testing phase for now, so it is not confirmed when or if it will roll out to other Instagram users globally.

[{"selector":"#anim-a25ecc7d-332c-414e-b5e1-f8706146fe97","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d2ae425-8350-4be8-b82c-2100d72f9427","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
