Our Story - the new feature on Snapchat

For some time now, every Snapchatter has not only found the "My Story" option in the "Stories" area, but also "Our Story". "Us" implies that there are several people - and that's exactly what the new feature of Snapchat is all about.

• "Our story" is about sharing experiences, such as an event or a party. Everyone in the story can tell the rest of the world how they feel about the event and contribute their own personal impressions of the story.
• A prerequisite for participating in "Our Story" is that you participate in the same event as the initiator of the story. This can be a joint trip to the sea, a wedding party or a big event.
• To start a shared story, all you have to do is click on the "Create Story" icon in the top right corner. You then decide who can post in the story and who can view it.
• You can even specify that the story can only be called up in a precisely defined geographical area. For example, if you are at a festival like Wacken, use geofencing to specify that only Snapchatter in the Wacken room can participate in the story.
• Basically, the shared stories disappear after 24 hours if nothing more is posted.

The flames are also a relatively new feature. We have put together what the Snapchat famers mean in the next practical tip.
