The way each app separates user stories is also different. This is visually harder to interpret because it only gives you a vague idea of how many snaps there will be based on how fast the inner circle counts down. Snapchat’s circular timer, only the other hand, simply has an inner circle which counts down clockwise to the overall duration of the story while the outer circle is counting down each individual snap. In Instagram Stories, a bar will appear right across the top of the screen with clear markings of where each post ends, which makes it very clear to see how many posts are going to be in one story by the number of notches in the bar. When it finishes counting down, the snap will switch over. In Snapchat Stories, if one user uploads multiple snaps to their story, you can tell when one snap will end and the other begin by a circular timer in the top right hand corner. The first difference is the way each Stories feature distinguishes not only the different posts in one user’s story, but also one user’s story from the next user. As similar as the two features are, there’s a few key (but subtle) differences between Snapchat’s and Instagram’s “Stories”.

Unlike receiving random snaps throughout the day or viewing separate pictures on Instagram, Snapchat Stories allow you to document a whole day and truly tell your story though a series of photos and videos that your followers can view back to back.Īfter seeing the success of Snapchat’s Stories, Instagram revealed their own “Stories” feature, allowing Instagram users to share their own stories for a timed period. Your followers can view the content as many times as they like during the 24 hour window, but once time’s up, the content is deleted. This means people often feel like they can be more “real” on Snapchat than Instagram.įrom the early days, one of the features that stood out on Snapchat was “Stories”, which allows you share images and videos for a 24 hour period with your followers. Snapchat photos delete themselves after they’ve been viewed, while Instagram posts stay up on your profile unless you decide to manually delete them. Many users love them because they cut through the “noise” of other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter and focus solely on pictures and videos.Īlthough they share a similar goal, each app goes about it in different ways.
They serve a similar function of providing a platform to share moments through imagery. Snapchat and Instagram are two of the biggest apps in the world right now.
