At this point in the poem it goes without saying that the success of Snapchat Stories has served as “inspiration” for other social networks when it comes to updating their functionalities. It didn't take long for them to copy the application by launching their own versions of this function. Although it is not easy to discern the differences between Snapchat Stories and its competitors, in the following information we explain what links them and what differentiates them.
The differences between Snapchat Stories and its competitors
Although today it can offer little more than its rivals, Snapchat can boast of being the first social network that has included the possibility of publishing content that disappears shortly after its publication.
Through Snapchat's main interface, which is the ca Mexico Mobile Number List mera screen, you can take a photo or video with it and add text, drawings or filters and send the final creation (snap) to a friend. Its 'Stories' section allows you to create a collection of all your snaps, which can be visible for 24 hours to everyone or only to your contacts, depending on how you choose.
For some time now, Snapchat has had properties that make it look more like traditional social networks. We are talking about Snapchat Memories , a function that allows you to save photos and videos in an album with the possibility of sharing them later.
On the other hand, Snapchat has many more features than Stories, such as Geofilters or Snapchat Discover, a kind of commercial platform that allows large media outlets such as People , CNN or ESPN to publish notable information or events in these formats that may be of interest to its users.
But... how is it different from its rivals? Rubén Bastón reviews it in this video:
Facebook Stories, an almost identical copy of Snapchat
Facebook Stories is the umpteenth attempt by Mark Zuckerberg's social network to compete with Snapchat . He first tried to buy it, then launched applications like Slingshot or LifeStage that did not have the expected success, and now he launches this application that is an almost exact reproduction of its original.
Facebook Stories can only be used on the mobile version of Facebook and its operation, use and presentation is practically identical to that of Snapchat. Posts can be sent to friends via private message and users can reply to 'Stories' via direct messages.
One of the big disadvantages of Facebook Stories compared to Snapchat is that the latter integrates a greater number of filters and also has its own Geofilter Marketplace in which the user can choose from a wide variety of designs to use at weddings, birthdays or corporate events.
The truth is that Facebook does not offer something very different if we compare it to its direct rivals, but it is also true that it has just hit the market and, for sure, it will not take long to improve its functionalities. We cannot forget either that it is the most used social network in the world and that, a priori, it already has a considerable number of users likely to use this new functionality, although this tool has not yet fully worked for it.
Instagram Stories is the application that offers the most differential features
Owned by Facebook, Instagram Stories is Snapchat's headache . It was launched in August and from the first moment it was dedicated to stealing users from the little ghost's social network. Its release to the market was accompanied by great controversy due to its enormous resemblance to Snapchat.
Instagram Stories works just like Snapchat Stories . You can share every moment of the day, either in photos or videos and can be viewed in a slideshow format.
Instagram Stories is the application that offers the most differential features . It differs from Snapchat and Facebook in that it allows you to incorporate mentions – up to 10 – in each story you publish. These mentions are notified to users via direct message and not in the news feed.
It also gives the user the possibility of sharing Boomerang videos - they play continuously forwards and backwards -. Another Instagram feature that sets it apart is that it allows you to add links to verified accounts without having to leave the platform and even make purchases without leaving the app .

Whatsapp statuses, 'Stories' that you can also publish in chats
Whatsapp is (also) owned by Facebook and has become the latest social network to join the ephemeral content party. Until this week, the only notable new features that it had added were voice calls and video calls.
Now users can use Whatsapp Status in the same way as using Instagram Stories or Snapchat. That is, you can publish content in the form of photos and 24-hour videos also using icons and texts.
Through the WhatsApp camera we can personalize this content by adding emoticons, drawings or writing with different colors on photos and videos and other editing options that it offers us. Does it remind you of anything?
Whatsapp States also gives the option to configure the privacy of our publications. It gives us the possibility of choosing which people in our contacts can view our new status and who cannot. Unlike what happens with Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook, no one who is not our contact - that is, who does not have our phone number - can see the content we publish.
Despite this limitation, Whatsapp Status has a very interesting feature for users: it allows you to see who viewed the publication . A functionality that so far none of the other Stories have dared to include.
