Facebook stories are a feature that Facebook have been pushing in the recent f8 update. There will be new feature and more prominent placing in its new user interface. So now is the time to learn how to use Facebook stories.
Stories is effectively another News Feed, but one that relies on visual rather than written information. It adds new filters and effects to the camera, and requires you to select the Stories section, rather than just posting to Facebook as you normally would.
It relies on the camera so the phone is a more natural home for Stories, but you can post and edit them from your desktop, giving you the chance to create more polished videos.
Once posted, they’ll stay viewable for 24 hours. After that, they disappear. In other words, it’s just like Snapchat Stories. Facebook Stories don’t appear in your Timeline or News Feed by default unless you post them there too.
