I can't take it anymore getting notified every time someone posts a story. It drives me crazy constantly, especially in the evening. Is there a way to turn them off without blocking the person or turning off notifications for all of Instagram?
Go to notification settings, select Instagram, and turn off "Stories" specifically - that'll just cut off story notifications without affecting anything else. If you don't want to get notifications from a specific person, you can also go to their profile, tap the three dots, and choose "Disable notifications" for just them.
Wait, you can actually manage that straight from the app without messing with your phone's general settings 😊 You gotta go into Instagram settings (the gear icon), then "Notifications", and there you'll find an option to specifically disable Story notifications - it only turns that off without affecting your messages or likes. I had the same problem in the evenings, and ever since I disabled it, my phone finally leaves me alone before bed!
