Story

A Story is a short post in a vertical format that disappears from view after a set time.

Stories sit at the top of the app, away from the main feed, and suit informal updates: behind the scenes, quick polls, countdowns and reminders.

Story in practice

Because they are temporary, they invite lighter and more frequent posting. Add a link or sticker only where it helps, and save the best ones as highlights if the platform allows it.

Use Stories for the quick and informal, and keep the permanent feed for polished work. Make text large and keep key content away from the top and bottom, where interface elements sit. Check whether your platform lets you save Stories so good ones stay visible.
