What Are Instagram Stories?
Instagram Stories are photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours. Introduced in 2016, Stories have become one of the most popular features on Instagram, with over 500 million people using them daily.
Stories appear at the top of the Instagram feed in circular profile icons. When you tap on a story, it plays automatically and advances to the next one. This ephemeral format creates urgency and encourages frequent viewing.
