Stories let you share temporary posts — photos or videos — that disappear after 24 hours.
Steps:
On the Home page, tap the + sign on your profile avatar in the top-left corner.
Record a new video, take a photo, or choose media from your device.
Edit your story (add effects, text, filters, etc.).
Tag other users, add a location, or mark as Sensitive (adds a warning overlay).
Tap Post to share your story.
Maximum story length: 2 minutes. You can add up to 20 stories within 24 hours.
Good to know:
To see who viewed your story, open it and tap the chart icon at the bottom.
Stories cannot be edited once posted.
Stories disappear after 24 hours and cannot be viewed again — a dedicated archive feature is on the roadmap.
To delete a story before it expires: open the story, tap the bin icon at the bottom right, and confirm deletion.
