Results: Instagram wins the stories war
Stories have been a big thing around social media recently. It started off on Snapchat, where teenagers would document little tidbits in their lives, which would disappear in 24 hours. So — the less important stuff. Then Facebook wanted in on that as it saw the user retention strength stories have and started implementing them across its services. It started with Instagram, then added them to Messenger, and then to the Facebook app. And yeah, all three of those are autonomous, meaning you can pretty much run completely different stories over your different apps.

But that definitely sounds high maintenance and most people don't need that amount of social flaunting, right? So, surely, people have a favorite one app for their story (whenever they post one). We thought we'd ask which one that is.

It's worth noting that a lot of people mentioned WhatsApp in the comments. We must admit, it went over our head at the time that WhatsApp actually has a story feature. But then again, who doesn't nowadays? Even Microsoft added "Highlights" to its Skype, which is kind of, sort of, exactly like stories. Hey, it's a crazy, ephemeral-content-driven world out there!
