Instagram is constantly changing and updating, so it can be hard to stay on top of it all while trying to grow your account and boost engagement. Stories were just release last year and they are already one of the most popular features of the app. In 2017 Instagram told the New York Times that “200 million people a day were using its Stories feature, which is more users than all of Snapchat (160 million at last count).”<\/p>\n

Participation in Stories is growing fast and they have already undergone major renovations! Instagram has added new face filters, novelty seasonal stickers and video effects. Up until recently all these cool, creative stories would disappear in 24 hours.

\"Tutorial:<\/p>\n
