Instagram has launched a new Playback feature that will display a recap of the ‘best stories’ from 2021

Meta (previously Facebook)-owned Instagram has launched a new Playback feature, which will allow users to see a review of their “favorite Stories” from 2021. Thanks to a new feature, Instagram users can now share their top ten stories from the year with their followers. Instagram will suggest a set of Stories for the 2021 Playback, but users can remove these and replace them before uploading their 2021 Playback video. The feature is available to all users and will only be available for a limited time. Instagram has begun to display a banner at the top of user feeds with a button allowing users to curate stories from their archives.

The stories are accompanied by a 2021 banner and will be compiled into a playback in 2021. Users can, as previously stated, remove the Stories that are automatically selected if they bring back unpleasant memories. These can, of course, be replaced with any other 2021 story.

The new Playback option is also useful if you want to go back and review the previous year. Users can also create year-in-review videos that summarise their top Stories from the previous year. The feature is thought to be inspired by Spotify’s Wrapped feature as well as a variety of other tools that become popular near the end of each year.

Instagram has not revealed any tool that will allow users to share their best posts from 2021, and the current functionality will allow users to share stories from their history. Instagram’s new Playback feature is now available to all users, but it will only be available for a limited time.

According to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri, the company strives to give users more control over the network. Furthermore, the Meta-owned platform will reintroduce a version of the company’s original chronological feed, which was deleted in 2016.
