Instagram's story algorithm prioritizes interactions. Stories you frequently engage with (views, replies, DMs) appear first. Consistency matters: regularly viewing someone's stories keeps them in your top feed. Timeliness plays a role: recent stories appear before older ones. Direct connections (comments, likes on posts) influence story placement too. Engage sincerely to shape your feed.
