A Snapchat story is a photo or video that you post to your Stories feed. Stories last for 24 hours and people can watch them as many times as they want during that time. Once the 24-hour time limit is up, Snapchat automatically deletes the story.
What is “Our Story” on Snapchat and How to Use It
Open the Snapchat app and swipe left from the camera tab to view Snapchat Stories. Or tap the Stories icon (the two silhouettes) in the toolbar. Tap someone’s name to view their friend’s Stories in the order they were posted.
Once you've Snapped with someone, you can also watch their Stories by looking at their profile icon in your Conversations tab. Their profile/Bitmoji icon will change to a clip of their Story, which you can watch immediately by tapping on it.
There are a few ways you can post a story on Snapchat. The easiest is to tap + My Story at the top of the Stores tab. You can view your current stories on your profile. When you post a story, your friends will see it appear in their stories section. You can also see who has viewed your story.
