As if you needed another app to post Stories,TikTokhas been experimenting with the format through a feature called TikTok Stories. Not all users have access to TikTok Stories yet. If you’re curious about the feature, here is everything you need to know about TikTok Stories, including how they work.
What are TikTok Stories?
Many social media sites, includingSnapchat,Facebook, andInstagram,allow you to post Stories on your profile that automatically delete after 24 hours. TikTok now offers the same feature to some of its users. If you share a story on TikTok, you will be able to see who has viewed it in a separate tab located next to the comments section. A blue ring will also appear around your profile picture, indicating to other users that they can tap to view your Stories. They can also publicly react and comment, which will appear on the story itself.
How do TikTok Stories work?
If you don’t have access to TikTok Stories yet, you won’t be able to post Stories, and you won’t be able to see Stories that users have shared.
Create TikTok Stories
When you create a new story, you’re able to add captions, music, and text. And they last for 24 hours before they’re gone for good.
View TikTok Stories
To view someone’s story, go to their profile, and if their picture has a blue circle around it, you’re able to tap it to view what they’ve shared.
Stories are also displayed on the left side of the screen. As a viewer, you can react and even comment on Stories.
