Relive your best stories with Instagram Playback of the year 2021

The social network has introduced a new feature to give users a personalized summary of their 2021.

As the end of 2021 approaches, various social platforms have been presenting their own annual summary format. Now, Instagram has decided to join the trend with the launch of Playback 2021, a feature that will allow users to relive their best stories of the year.

Starting this week, the application will display a message at the top of the news feed inviting people to create their own collection of highlights from 2021, which can then be shared with followers through the profile.

“To help you remember your special moments this year, we have created a replay of your 2021 stories. You can choose to add or remove stories before sharing,” explains the new Instagram notice.

By selecting the Playback function, the social network will automatically generate an annual summary with a selection of 10 stories, which can be customized to your liking. This means that users will be able to edit, add or remove content from the playlist before publishing it.

Instagram highlighted that this feature will allow people to “celebrate and reflect on 2021 before the new year.” For that reason, he specified that it will only be available on the platform for a limited time during the next few weeks.

How to create your own Instagram Playback 2021?

When entering the Instagram application from an Android or iOS device, the social network will spontaneously display the notice to create your own Playback 2021. Press the blue button See playback and you will see the 10 stories chosen for you.

In case the message still does not appear in your account, the other method is to find a story from another user that includes the 2021 sticker. If you click on it, you will have the ability to view and share your own summary of the year.
