What is Instagram Story and How to Do It?
Instagram stories are temporary posts represented by small circles next to Instagram users' profile photos. Instagram stories allow you to share photos and videos together in an instant and allow your followers to interact with you more closely. Instagram stories disappear after 24 hours and do not allow your followers or people viewing your stories to save the stories.
What is Instagram Story Used For?
Instagram stories are a feature that allows users to share photos and videos instantly. Stories allow your followers to interact with you more closely and let your followers see little moments of your life. Instagram stories are also more private because while they allow your followers to watch your stories, they are not permanently on your profile or in their feed.
Stories also come with engagement tools and features, allowing your followers to respond to your stories, vote in polls, ask questions, and more.
