How to View and Post TikTok Stories?
In the world of social media, it’s easy to get left behind. You might feel like all your friends and family are off doing something exciting, and you’re stuck at home, out of the loop. The good news is, it’s never been easier to stay connected, even if you don’t have time for a long conversation. That’s because TikTok, the world’s fastest-growing social media platform, has just released its new story feature.
If you’re not sure how to use this exciting new feature, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to find out how to view and post stories on TikTok.
What is TikTok?
Before we get into all the details of viewing and posting stories, let’s start with a brief overview of TikTok. As you might already know, TikTok is a mobile-based social networking app that allows users to create, share, and view short-form videos from 15 seconds to 1 minute long.
These videos range in genre, from lip-sync videos to dance videos to comedy sketches, and are usually scored with popular music or audio clips. You can also upload your own audio and images to use with your videos.
And if all that wasn’t enough, you can now share your videos and experiences in story form, so you can keep your followers up-to-date with the goings-on in your life.
What are TikTok Stories?
TikTok Stories are another great way to connect with your followers and friends. Just like other stories, you can post short, 15 second videos to your Timeline, which can be viewed by anyone who follows you.
These videos will remain up for up to 24 hours, and can be edited with text, stickers, filters, and other effects. Plus, you can add polls, quizzes, and countdowns to your story, so your followers can interact with your content and you can get real-time feedback.
It’s a great way to keep your followers engaged, and you can even add a link to your story, so viewers can see what you’re sharing.
How to View TikTok Stories
Now that you know a bit more about what TikTok Stories are, it’s time to dive in and find out how to view them. It’s really easy to view stories on the app, and you can do it two ways.
First, when you open the TikTok app, you’ll see a series of circles at the top of the home page. These circles (which look similar to Snapchat) will contain stories posted by you, as well as your friends and people you follow. You can simply click on the story to watch it, and then scroll through any other stories in that circle.
The second way to view stories is to go to someone’s profile. Once you’re on their profile page, you’ll see a button that says “View Story” – clicking this will show you their story. This is great if you don’t have time to browse through the circles at the top of the page.
How to Post TikTok Stories
Viewing stories is great, but you’re probably here to learn how to post stories too. Don’t worry, it’s not difficult!
The first step is to make sure you’re in the “Stories” section of the app. To do this, tap the plus icon at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the “Stories” icon at the top of the page.
Once you’re in the “Stories” section, you can begin recording. You can record a video, upload a photo, record audio, or add a text post. To add effects, filters, and music, click the “Effects” icon in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.
When you’re done creating your story, click “Next” in the upper right-hand corner. This will bring you to a page where you can add a caption, location, hashtag, or link. Once you’ve added anything you want to your story, click “Share” in the upper right-hand corner, and your story will be posted!
Now that you know the ins and outs of viewing and posting stories on TikTok, you’re ready to dive into this amazing feature and make the most of it! And don’t forget to have fun and be creative – stories are a great way to express yourself and make meaningful connections. Happy Ticking!
