Facebook Stories is a feature on the Facebook platform that allows users to share photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours. This format encourages spontaneous sharing and provides a way for users to showcase their daily moments without cluttering their main profile. Stories can be enhanced with text, stickers, and filters, making them more engaging. Users can view Facebook Stories from friends and pages they follow by tapping on their profile pictures at the top of the news feed. This feature is similar to those found on other social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, promoting real-time sharing and interaction.
