Off the top of my head, in no particular order (except for Snapchat first because I'm pretty sure they were first), a list of apps with "stories" now:

- Snapchat

- Instagram

- Facebook

- Whatsapp

- Telegram

- Signal

- Tiktok

- Twitter

- Twitch

I miss when it was just Snapchat...

Sadly, I imagine this will come to discord as a nitro feature in the near future.

Don't forget YouTube shorts! Google will absolutely never let you forget.

YouTube shorts are just videos that you can't control, and of course they're short. It's a depressing statement about humanity that cutting things so they're short is a profitable innovation.

Half the time, the shorts end and there isnt a great way to just continue the clip.

First Shorts would just show me clips of young women shaking their ass and I would never click on them on principle. Then Google must have figured about the shapeshifter I was developing because it started me showing some clips from an older lady from the UK who meets foxes out on the street and has foxes come to her door, which I will click on.

Aren't stories basically image/video statuses?

They kind of make sense, move up from text/emoji statuses.

Slack also has (or at least had) stories https://www.engadget.com/slack-clips-stories-connect-salesfo...

Even LinkedIn had stories at one point but mercifully killed the feature recently
