To make its platform more like the uber-popular TikTok, Instagram is developing a whole new way for users to swipe through stories. The feature dubbed “Vertical Stories” aims to help users browse through stories with vertical swipes instead of horizontal ones and taps. The company, after releasing the new “Recently Deleted” feature for its app, confirmed the development of the said feature.

So, as you can guess, the Facebook-owned social media platform wants to give its users a TikTok-like feed for browsing stories. It is similar to how Reels work where you have to swipe up or down to browse through the short videos.
