Breakdown: Instagram Stories v. Snapchat Stories

It seems like just yesterday the entire internet was freaking out about Instagram stealing the stories function from Snapchat. People were laughing in the face of Instagram stories, convinced it wouldn’t be able to overtake the Goliath that is Snapchat.

Fast-forward two years later… and here we are. Snapchat stock has been plummeting, due to some posts by the ultimate influencers Rihanna and Kylie Jenner, and Instagram stories are blowing up with 400 million daily active users. They’ve even introduced new emoji reactions to the stories, similar to their parent company, Facebook. Internet influencers have been flocking from Snapchat to Instagram to reach their audience, simply because viewership is so much higher on the photo-sharing app rather than on the…other…photo-sharing app. In fact, many influencers have taken to posting the same stories taken and edited on Instagram to their public Snapchats. Many think that Instagram just has a better platform. But is that true?

Let’s dive in.

Here are five tips to consider when building your brand on social media:
