INSTAGRAM changes. The classic timeline, recently redesigned both in the hierarchy in which the images are displayed graphically, alongside a new expressive opportunities: it is called Instagram Stories. To chase the success of Snapchat, it is true, but also to provide users with a new form of relationship with their followers. The stories of Instagram, that all 500 million instagrammer will begin publishing the next few hours on both iOS and Android (to complete the worldwide distribution but we will take a few weeks), will remain available for one day. Not more than 24 hours, just as is done on Snapchat. Narratives 100 items . Change therefore also the first login screen application, which is enhanced by an upper bar where the user will see the profile pictures of friends account or celebrity with which it interacts more frequently if the face is bordered by a colored circle it means there is a new story to see. That content, that is, the narrative – which can be composed of up to 100 items including photos and clips of 10 seconds – will not end up on the user’s dashboard. So, needless to look for it there. Unless, this one of the most exciting options, the author decides to save and ” recycling ” at a later time one of those items or the entire contents, following the classical logic of Instagram. How it works . In the upper left of the application will appear in the next few days a “plus” sign (+) in a circle: clicking it will access the camera and you will start creating a new story. The same mechanism can, however, also run by swiping right from anywhere in the application. How about Snapchat, which recently surpassed active users of Twitter, you can write on the photo or video, add stickers and emoji, apply image filters. In short, to create a kind of multimedia animation. Once approved, the ” ‘Object’ ‘just created will add to the overall narrative. Of ” history ”, however, they can only take one every 24 hours. A parallel timeline . “One of the starting points was precisely to provide a sort of parallel timeline to users – says Sara Ranzini , head of communications for Facebook Italian – indeed it was they who chiedercela, Instagram listen very much the views of the community. the uses of the stories are different, one for all: avoid burdening their bulletin board with photos and video of the same theme or the same destination, choosing instead a coherent and compact story that will witness a journey, a concert, unique experience. ” In short, the goal – More than chasing Snapchat – also seems to add a horizontal line to the typical verticality of the company led by Kevin Systrom . Chapter privacy . The stories share your account settings. If your profile is private, then, the story will only be visible to your followers. But even if the account, as happens in most cases, is public there is still a chance to protect themselves from bad impression: to hide content that only some contacts simply select it from the list of followers and exclude it. Massimo also check the history: swiping your finger upwards we can in fact know who displayed every single fragment that composes it.
