Using Stories
## How Stories Work on FANZA Stories are short-lived posts that disappear after 24 hours. They're a lightweight way to share moments, updates, or teasers without adding permanent posts to your profile. **Creating a story:** 1. From your dashboard, look for the Stories section at the top of your feed 2. Click the "+" or "Add Story" button 3. Upload an image or video 4. Add an optional caption 5. Post it Your story will be visible to your followers and subscribers for 24 hours. After that, it automatically disappears. **Viewing stories:** Stories from creators you follow appear at the top of your home feed as circular profile icons. Tap on one to view it. You can tap to advance through multiple stories from the same creator. **Story views:** Creators can see how many people viewed each story and who those viewers were. This gives you insight into how engaged your audience is even with casual content. **When to use stories:** - Quick updates or behind-the-scenes glimpses that don't need a full post - Teasers for upcoming content ("new post dropping tonight") - Casual, unpolished moments that show your personality - Time-sensitive announcements (flash sales, going live soon, etc.) - Engaging with trends or responding to current events Stories complement your regular posts. Posts are your polished, permanent content library. Stories are the informal, ephemeral layer that keeps your profile feeling active and personal even between posts.
