Problem statement

What are stories ?

It's a collection of images and short videos, with optional overlays and effects, that a user can add to over time, but which disappears after 24 hours. Users view a Story in sequence, either waiting out a programmed delay between images or manually advancing to the next.

Instagram stories

In 2013, the upstart social network, Snapchat, debuted Stories. But then Stories were copied by Facebook and introduced to a much wider audience on Instagram in 2016. Facebook itself, as well as its messaging platforms WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, rolled out Stories in 2017.

Now, Stories are quietly eating the social world, fundamentally changing how we share and consume content on social media. For companies that rely on social media to reach their customers, this presents brand new opportunities—and some real challenges.

Instagram stories has more than 400 million people using it every day. On an average more than 2 out of 5 instagram users are using instagram stories everyday. Check out more interesting statistics about Instagram stories here
