Snapchat all the things!<\/p>\n

Facebook\u2019s plan to copy everything that made Snapchat successful is finally reaching its final form with the launch<\/a> of stories in the main Facebook app. You can now share stories with your Facebook friends and see what your friends have been up to for the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

At the top of the Facebook app, you\u2019ll see rounded profile pictures representing stories by your friends. If you tap on one, it\u2019ll open your friend\u2019s story with photos, videos, drawings and camera effects.<\/p>\n

Essentially, Facebook is creating a second newsfeed<\/a> for the mobile generation. It is swapping text and photo updates with visual communication because it feels more personal.<\/p>\n

Once you get access to stories, you\u2019ll find a camera icon in the top left corner of the Facebook app. You can then take photos and pictures, add effects and drawings and share the result. After 24 hours, posts in your story disappear forever. Facebook is also adding new camera effects today.<\/p>\n

Facebook is introducing Direct as well, a new inbox for direct messages. It is reminiscent of Snapchat\u2019s direct messages. This way, you can share photos and videos with one or multiple friends in particular, or reply to your friends\u2019 stories.<\/p>\n

So Facebook has now added stories to all its main apps \u2014 Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and Whatsapp. While Instagram\u2019s stories have been a huge success<\/a>, let\u2019s see if Facebook\u2019s user base also wants to embrace the story format.<\/p>\n

Facebook Stories and Direct are rolling out today. You won\u2019t necessarily see stories straight away, but they\u2019re on their way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
