Instagram now lets you cancel story uploads that are in progress.

Here's a little, but useful new feature on Instagram:

In the newest version of the app, you can now pause a stories upload mid-process, which might be useful in catching errors or issues before they get made viewable in the app.

there's now a button within the stories upload flow that lets you stop a story from going live after you've hit "share".

Which, as any social media manager will attest, will come in handy more times than you probably care to admit.

It happens all the time-you add the wrong link; notice a spelling error at the last minute; forget to tag a profile; and on and on.

All of which are simple, pretty garden-variety mistakes that will commonly crop up, especially when you are putting up multiple Stories, along with other social posts, every day. As such, the ability to just pause and stop the upload, and correct those mistakes, really is going to be very valuable.

The update is available in the latest version of the app.
