Alex Heath of Business Insider reported that Facebook Stories is a virtually identical feature to Instagram Stories, also a “direct descendant” of Snapchat Stories.
According to Heath, users add photos and videos to their Facebook Stories, which are visible for 24 hours, and that content does not appear in News Feed or on users’ Timelines.
Friends can reply to Facebook Stories with direct messages, and selfie filters and geofilters (sound familiar?) are also available.
