This is why highlights were introduced in December 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Highlights\"><\/span>What are Highlights?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram Highlights are collections of past Stories that you can group together and display on your profile.
