Instagram Stories now available on the web

Instagram is bringing support for its well-known Stories feature to the web, along with new face filters that are based on the weather types. But wait, the availability is limited to mobile web only. The update doesn’t reflect any change to the desktop version of Instagram, which already is a very basic platform of the social network as you cannot actually upload any media item from there.
Instagram Stories is now available to watch on instagram.com. The Stories feed appear at the top of the screen, just like on the mobile app. Instagram says the Stories feature has quickly become an “important part” of the photo-sharing social network, with over 250 million people using the feature every day.
You can try the new weather-inspired face filters starting today, with choices including a happy sun, a sad raincloud, an angry thunderstorm, or a laid-block sun. The choice is all yours!
While the Stories update will be available to everyone in the coming weeks, the new face filters are available as part of Instagram version 10.21 (or higher) on iOS and Android.
