On Instagram, if someone hides their story from you, you won't receive notifications or see it in your feed. Check their profile: if their story highlights or recent stories aren't visible, they might have restricted you. Another indication is if you see stories from mutual friends but not from that person. It's a subtle and unconfirmed way to know, but these tips can guide you.
