Do Notice
The Instagram live appears on the same banner as Instagram Stories at the top of your feed. Earlier, the stories are circled in red and had ‘Live’ written across it, is used to help the viewer to distinguish them from the stories.
But now, they won’t have a single circle anymore, but rather two circles stacked on the top of each other, to let users know that its an Instagram Live. Well, these updates are available as part of Instagram version 20 available for iOS in the Apple App Store and for Android in Google Play.
