Like other social media apps like Instagram, TikTok has jumped on the Stories bandwagon, which will allow users to share daily highlights. In this post, we’ll explain the meaning of TikTok Stories and how it works.
What Are TikTok Stories?
In August 2021, TikTok has started the test of TikTok Stories with some participants, a new way to connect with the community. In March 2022, TikTok introduced the Stories officially.
This feature will allow users to post 15-second content that will be automatically deleted after 24 hours. That’s similar to Stories on Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, etc. In other words, TikTok Stories are the videos or photos taken with the built-in camera and they will disappear after 24 hours.
TikTok Stories appear on the user’s profile page and the For You page like normal videos on TikTok. You can view other users’ Stories by clicking their profile page.
When you post your story on TikTok, you can see how many accounts viewed your story, but you can’t know the exact account. Also, you can like a TikTok story and publicly comment on it.
