Snapchat’s Stories now feels like one great feature as everyone now wants to jump on it. It was Instagram who directly ripped off the feature and later was added to Facebook and Messenger, now it is YouTube who wants in. The feature on YouTube was first spotted a while ago and it looks exactly like the one we are using on Instagram.
The U.I displays a red ring around new Stories, and when you tap on it, stories will be opened much like how it is on Instagram. If you’d think Google might tweak the switch the UI up a bit, then you are in for a big disappointment. Another difference compared to the stories of Instagram is the presence of the Subscribe button and the inability to comment or reply to the story.
As mentioned, the company is still testing the feature, so it might be limited to a section of creators or users as it is a server-side roll out for selected users.
