How do you change an Instagram story from close friends to public?

Unfortunately for you, Instagram so far does not allow change a Close Friends story to public, so if you have mistakenly uploaded a story to best friends when you really wanted to publish it in public stories, then you will have to delete it and upload it again.

Not even if you add your story to the highlighted ones, it will appear in the public stories, because in the highlighted stories section of your profile it will be seen in the chronology that you have uploaded to Close friends but only users that you have added there will be able to see it.

If someone you do not have added to your best friends enters your featured stories, then the platform will simply jump from one public to another, without being able to see that private story.

However, not everything is bad, because there is a little trick for you to mount your Close Friends stories in public. This trick is especially useful for cases where you have recorded something directly with the Instagram platform camera, or you have customized the story with the platform’s tools.

Basically what you have to do is enter your story, click on ‘More’, and choose the save option. At that time, the story will be saved on your device, and what you can do is delete it from Close Friends and upload it from your gallery to public stories.
