If Slingshot not work, Facebook has up his sleeve another way to try to remove the throne Snapchat. Instagram Stories
Announced today, Instagram Stories is a new way to share photos and videos on Instagram, highlighting the most important of the day This function is available in the app Instagram for iOS. Android in coming weeks.
the content posted on Instagram Stories will be available to users in slide format and can be formatted filters, color and you can even add stickers or stickers to pictures and videos. Even more importantly, the content Instagram Stories will be available only for 24 hours and then disappear.
the Instagram Stories section will appear in a bar at the top of the screen main app. The user will know when a profile has new content as a circle surround the profile picture in the taskbar. You can see the content, comment, send a private message to Instagram Direct, but no option I like as with the feed Normal.
On the issue of privacy, Instagram Stories follows the guidelines of each profile. If a profile is set to Private, Instagram Stories act in the same way. If the profile is public, Instagram Stories content will be seen by anyone – whether a follower or not. However, each publication in Instagram Stories may be modified for specific people from seeing specific publications.
Facebook, owns Instagram, he did not hesitate to take the influence of Snapchat for this function, and even the name. Stories (Historias or, in Spanish), it is one of the most important parts of Snapchat, a social network that would supposedly already outnumbered daily Twitter users. Snapchat Stories acts very similar to Instagram Stories: take a photo or record a video, edit it with filters or color location, and publish it for up to 24 hours.
Instagram Stories is the second and latest attempt by Facebook to curb the success of Snapchat, mainly between millennials . Rumors say that Facebook made Snapchat bid, but the company turned a deaf ear ephemeral messaging to negotiation. Since then, the popularity of Snapchat has gone through the roof.
“Snapchat consists of a base of more active users, which creates more content than the average Instagram user,” said Kevin Systrom, CEO of Instagram in an interview with The New York Times . “Given the youthful demographics, we believe that Instagram has a higher risk from increased Snapchat, especially in the long term.”
While Instagram follows in the footsteps of Snapchat, the latter keeps the foot on the accelerator to keep adding new features such as the most recent Memories (Memories) and integration with Bitmoji.
Will there be a Round 3 between Facebook (Instagram) and Snapchat?
