How do I share a story in a direct message?
To share a story in a direct message:
- Tap on a story to view it
- Tap
in the bottom right of the photo or video you'd like to share
- Select people you'd like to share it with and tap Send
Stories you share in a direct message have the same visibility settings as other posts you share. For example, if you have a private account, only your followers can see your story in Direct. You can choose who can view and share your story by adjusting your story settings.
When someone shares a story with you, you will see it in your Direct inbox. When the original story disappears from the app, it will no longer be available in your message thread.
