Stories and Reels are interactive elements that increase your engagement. Share stories behind-the-scenes, temporary content with your audience so they can follow and stay up-to-date on current events. Share personal insights, promote new posts, and run interactive polls and questions through Stories.

A Reel, on the other hand, can be 30 seconds long and is designed to entertain people beyond those who already follow you or see your posts in their feed. Create Reels that showcase your creativity, provide value, or entertain your audience. Using these features properly helps you reach a wider audience, gain new followers, and keep your existing fans interested.
