TikTok Stories are a fun and engaging way to share photos and videos with your followers that disappear after 24 hours. They’re like a mini-blog, giving you a chance to share your day, thoughts, or just a funny moment. But, unlike posts, Stories are visible in several places like your profile, inbox, and the For You and Following feeds, giving you a chance to reach more people. You can even have conversations with people directly through your story! Let’s dive into the exciting world of TikTok Stories!
