Instagram tests new design for Stories on the desktop

Browsing Instagram Stories from your desktop may soon be a little easier: Instagram is testing a new Stories design on its website that gives the feature much-needed facial relief. With the new look, Stories appear in a carousel rather than on one tile that spans the entire page. Navigation is still the same – you can manually click through the Stories or have it play automatically – but it’s now easier to keep track of where you’re in your queue.

It is not clear how many users will see the new look, or whether the change will become permanent. A spokesman confirmed the test, which began appearing to a ‘small group’ of Instagram users last month, but did not comment on when it might be more available.
