What is a Story?
A Story is a temporary post on Instagram or Facebook that consists of vertical photos or videos and lasts for 24 hours. It appears at the top of followers' feeds and offers a more casual and interactive way to share moments compared to permanent posts.
Why post a Story?
Stories are a versatile tool for users, creating a sense of urgency, encouraging quick engagement. They provide a platform for casual updates, interactive features, and creative expression with filters and stickers. Businesses use Stories for promotions and marketing, showcasing a more personal side. The format's visibility at the top of followers' feeds ensures a broad audience reach. Stories can be saved to Highlights, offering a lasting curated collection. Overall, Stories complement permanent posts, fostering immediate and interactive connections.
