TikTok is expanding the pilot of its Stories feature, which the platform previously confirmed was in testing last summer. Stories last for 24 hours before they are automatically deleted, and they can be viewed by clicking to a user’s profile and clicking their profile picture. As the poster, you can see how many people viewed your story, but you can’t see who viewed it. You can like a story and leave a public comment, whereas on Instagram, commenters can only reply to the poster directly in a private message. To post a story, click the “post” button on the bottom center navigation bar of the app, scroll to a “quick” camera mode, which lets you post a photo or a video to your story. This is good news for creators as it means their Stories will last longer and people will have more opportunities to see them.
