Mutual friend’s story not showing up?

So when a friend posts a story there’s usually a blue circle that pops up at the bottom where it says friends, but when I go to the friends section or the inbox the story isn’t there even when I go to their profile. However on desktop or another account I can view the story with no issues. I’ve cleared my cache and tried reinstalling the app but no fix. Is this a bug and any solutions to this?
