Post a story

2. Take a photo or video, or pick one from your library.

A story stays up for 24 hours, then disappears on its own. Delete it earlier from the story viewer’s ⋯ menu. To keep one, choose Add to highlight in that menu: it stays on your profile, for everyone who can see your profile, until you take it out or delete the highlight.
