People can watch your Instagram Story from the Facebook

Some of the Facebook users recently noticed that now they can see other person's Instagram stories in their story section of Facebook. For a very long time, Facebook is making its platform vaster by allowing users to cross-posting Instagram Stories to Facebook — but a new test brings Instagram stories right into Facebook for direct viewing.


Users can differentiate between Facebook Stories and Instagram Stories by color grading. A Facebook Story will encircle with Blue color, and an Instagram Story will be with the pink and orange hue.

Who can see Instagram Stories from Facebook

  • Only your Instagram followers who've linked their Facebook account - and can already see your stories will see the new option within Facebook.
  • People on Facebook who don't follow you on Instagram can't see your story.


According to The Verge "Matt Navarra confirmed with a Facebook spokesperson that this is a “limited test,” and that the company will be listening to feedback. The spokesperson noted that the feature “respects all existing privacy settings” and said Instagram users have the option to keep their stories off of Facebook altogether if they wish.

The move is yet another step in Facebook’s effort to bring its platforms closer together. Last month, Facebook began merging Facebook Messenger and Instagram chat; WhatsApp will eventually also become part of this unified chat experience."

Credit: University of Illinois Grainger College of Engineering  CSL's Systems and Networking Research Group (SyNRG) is defining a new sub-area of mobile technology that they call "earable computing." The team believes that earphones will be the next significant milestone in wearable devices, and that new hardware, software, and apps will all run on this platform. "The leap from today's earphones to 'earables' would mimic the transformation that we had seen from basic phones to smartphones," said Romit Roy Choudhury, professor in electrical and computer engineering (ECE).
