How Instagram Stories work

Instagram Stories is a new feature introduced in the latest update of Instagram and allows users to create collections of images and videos that will disappear after 24 hours, like on Snapchat. In this way you can share your days and put them online with the knowledge that they will only be visible for 24 hours.

With Instagram Stories you can watch the stories of the people you follow, view the stories of others at any speed, comment on stories, hide your story and post a story on your profile.
