Facebook Stories have come a long way now. They are a feature where Facebook can share a photo or video that disappears within 24 hours.

It also added a send message option to Stories. Facebook tests displaying Stories comments in public.

Facebook Stories comments

  1. Facebook is seen testing to display Stories comments or replies on the Story frame itself and in public.

    This is based on a tweet shared by Matt Navarra, a social media expert. The format splits the Stories display into 2 – the Story itself and the comment section.

  2. Implications for Marketers:
