How to Get Story Mode on TikTok

TikTok has taken a step towards other social media platforms and apps by developing its own story mode – that is, a kind of content that users can create and share, which lasts for 24 hours on the app before it disappears.

Story mode enables users to create a piece of content, be it a short video or an image, which is captured directly in the app and then shared as a story update.

TikTok Story content can also be crafted from uploaded media files – with added effects, text, and all the other elements you would expect from a TikTok clip.

So, how do you capture footage and photos in story mode?

Navigate to Story Mode in 3 Steps

1. In the TikTok app, click on the large plus sign in the bottom centre position on your screen
2. Along the bottom of the screen where it says ‘Post,’ ‘Story, and ‘Templates’, select ‘Story’
3. The capture button will turn blue to let you know that you are in story mode. You can tap this button to snap a photo, press and hold to film a clip, or click ‘Upload’ to build a TikTok story from existing content on your device

Once you’re happy with your story content, you can share it – with followers able to view the story for 24 hours before it disappears.

A quick and easy way to share updates with followers, without committing to a full post!v
