What are Instagram Stories?
Instagram Stories are a feature on Instagram that allows users to share photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours.
These stories are meant to give a behind-the-scenes look, capture special moments or share temporary updates without staying permanently on your profile.
It’s a creative way to connect directly with your followers through visually appealing content.
Help with your Instagram StoryDifference Instagram post and Story
One of the main differences between an Instagram Story and a regular Instagram post is how long the post remains visible. While a standard message stays on your profile permanently (unless you delete it), a Story disappears after 24 hours.
Posts are often used for important updates, announcements or content you want to share over a long period of time, while Stories are ideal for more informal, time-limited or temporary updates. In addition, Stories appear at the top of the feed in a separate bar, giving them extra visibility.
