Re-shared Stories

HeyOrca will collect data for stories re-shared from other accounts, but will not be able to generate the media shared. If you re-share a post/story from your own account, we are able to collect the media for the Top Stories section.

Low Performing Stories

If all a story’s metrics are less than 5, Instagram does not share the specific data for those metrics. In the stories performance graph, we will count anything less than 5 as 0.
