Navigating Instagram Stories from your desktop may soon be a little easier: Instagram is testing a new design for Stories on its website that gives the feature a much needed makeover. With the new look, the stories appear on a merry-go-round, rather than a single block that occupies the entire page. Navigation is still the same – you can manually click on Stories or let them play automatically – but now it’s easier to control where you are in the queue.

It is unclear exactly how many users are seeing the new look or whether the change will become permanent. A spokesman confirmed the test, which began appearing to a “small group” of Instagram users last month, but did not comment on when it could be more widely available.
