If Facebook had its target to beat the Snapchat on its way of success, then through Instagram itβs been done through its βStoriesβ. The mighty Snap that’s monthly average use plunges from 17% per quarter to just 5% and on another hand, Snapchat shared price had decreased from 17$ to 13 $. But, Instagram stories has almost 250 million daily users all across the world, in spite of this Snap chat the founder of Stories has 166 million daily users of the stories.

We had an idea that its screen sharing will not be comparable to anyone.Β It seems impossible to think that a more massive window into friends would not possible. But Facebook and Instagram donβt have to outdo Snapchat. They just have to copy it and add some more interesting features and competing with Snapchat with sheer power.
