Snapchat Introduces Another New Feature for Instagram to Copy

Users can now personalize their stories and have their friends pitch in, too

Snapchat announced a new “custom Stories” feature Tuesday morning, allowing users of the popular vanishing message app to create specific Story channels for their friends to view or contribute to.

The update takes away the frustration of having to post a pic or video to your story that you don’t want your entire friends list to see. In the top right corner, users can click the “Create Story” icon and choose the friends they want to have viewing and contributing to the channel — kind of like making a playlist for snapping.

A story will then disappear if no one has added to it within 24 hours.
