How to use Instagram Stories
With Instagram Stories it's easy and fun to share everyday moments, and you can get creative with features like neon pen, the emojis, or even together with the apps Hyperlapse (very slow motion footage, available for the Android e iOS) or Boomerang (short video generator in repeat, available for the Android e iOS).
Photos and videos on Stories disappear after 24 hours e do not enter the profile — reactions and conversations remain private. It's really easy to control who you share your Stories, it is even now possible to mute the Stories who you don't want to see anymore.
Although the Instagram Stories has only been available for a few months, several features have been introduced since its launch. That's why we've put together some tips and a "how to" so that people can get the best out of the Instagram Stories. See:
- Stories from people you follow appear in the bar at the top of the feed.
