Surprise, surprise. Facebook is copying a Snapchat feature yet again.
After debuting Facebook Stories — its near identical clone of Snapchat Stories — in Ireland earlier this year, the company is rolling out its feature to users more widely. Stories live in a horizontal layout above the News Feed, similar to Instagram Stories. The Messenger shortcut has moved to the bottom center of the screen, and its previous location has been taken over by "Direct," more on that below.
In addition to Stories, Facebook has a separate section for what it calls "Direct," similar to Snapchat's feed for one-to-one or group messaging.
Facebook Stories also features Snapchat-style filters with the camera in News Feed, which the company has been testing since August of last year.
