Instagram released a 2021 Playback feature that allows users to view and share some of their older Stories posts as a way to look back at 2021.

When Instagram has prepared your 2021 Playback for you to view, you’ll see a prompt at the top of your home feed that allows you to view your 2021 Playback, as well as share it in Stories. If you never receive the prompt, you can also access your 2021 Playback by tapping the 2021 Playback sticker on a Stories post shared by someone else.
