Instagram testing “Stories about you” feature
- Instagram is potentially rolling out a “Stories about you” button in the notifications tab
- The feature notifies users when they’ve been tagged in a story and allows them to view all stories they’ve been tagged in
- Users have traditionally been notified of tags in stories via DM, but the move would consolidate all notifications in the same place
