Instagram will have self-destructing posts similar to Snapchat

Launched on Snapchat in 2013, self-destructing messages have since been rapidly gaining popularity among Internet users.

Facebook unsuccessfully tried several times to copy this idea, now they decided to repeat it on the social network Instagram, which is also owned by Facebook, writes The New York Times.

Instagram announced the launch of a new Instagram Stories section in which users will be able to publish self-destructing photos and videos - just like in the Snapchat messenger.

The company did this because Instagram users eventually began to censor themselves - for example, publish only a portion of photos from the rest, but not all at once. The Stories feature allows you to immediately share a large number of pictures and videos in your profile, without clogging up the subscribers' feed, since all pictures and videos published in the section will be automatically deleted in 24 hours.

The Stories section is at the top of the ribbon, it disappears when scrolling, new “stories” are marked with a color eagle around the user profile image.

By default, all users will be subscribed to the "stories" of those whom they read, if you wish, you can separately refuse to view the "stories".

The window for sending your “history” opens with a swipe to the right from the news feed screen. In “stories” you can only publish photos and videos up to 10 seconds in portrait (vertical) orientation. You can add an inscription or a picture to the image using the built-in “brushes”; also new filters were created for pictures and video in the “stories”.

There are no functions for changing faces, as in Snapchat, in Stories.

Users will be able to save photos or videos from their “history” to their gallery or publish them in a shared feed.

Stories have already been added to the latest Instagram update for iOS and Android. It is assumed that for all users it will appear before 17: 00 3 August 2016.

Несмотря на то, что сооснователь Instagram Кевин Систром не упомянул Snapchat в презентации Stories, это выглядело как прямой призыв к конкуренции, особенно учитывая, что аудитории обеих соцсетей — молодые люди.
