What are the stories that are kept in the story archive?
The stories that are saved in your story archive are those that meet the 24-hour time frame . All stories except the featured ones last 24 hours posted and when that amount of time passes they are removed. Well, the stories that you delete before that time period is up, they won’t appear in the archive.
So, if you want a photo to be saved in the stories archive, you have to wait for it to complete 24 hours after it has been posted. If that photo meets the time, you can go to review it in the archive as many times as you want.
The great thing about the story archive is that it stores data, such as who reacted to the photo, what the reaction was, who responded to the story, and the date it was posted. It should be noted that with Facebook Messenger you can change the color of each of the chats in order to make the conversation more entertaining.
How can you see all the stories you have uploaded to Facebook?
The stories that you have uploaded to your Facebook can be viewed from Android devices, with the iOS system and even from computers with Windows and Mac systems . The whole process will change a bit due to the system that the device has, but at the moment of truth it is almost the same:
From your Android
Android is characterized by its simplicity in what has to do with options and also in what has to do with the operation of its applications. Facebook Messenger does not allow you to view the stories, but from Facebook Messenger you will be able to view the archive of your stories :
- Open the Facebook Lite or normal Facebook app.
- Log in there with your Messenger details.
- In the main window, you are going to press the icon with your profile to go to your Facebook profile.
- Then, click on the icon with the 3 dots and choose the option that says ‘File’.
- In that section, go on to select the option that says ‘Story Archive’.
Immediately, you will be shown a preview of all the recent stories you have posted in order by date. To see more of its details, press the one you want and it will show who saw it , if you want to share it or if you want to highlight it.
In case you did not know, with Facebook Messenger you can make a configuration to appear in offline mode always . With this mode, you will prevent annoying people from writing to you all the time. The good thing is that this kind of configuration can be done from normal Facebook Messenger and from Facebook Messenger Lite.
With your iPhone
With iPhone cell phones you can also view each of the stories in your archive. To do this, first you have to open the normal Facebook :
- Log in if you have it closed.
- Go to your profile.
- Press the 3 dots icon.
- Choose the option ‘Archive’ and then the one that says ‘Archive of stories’.
What you will see next is a preview of all the photos that you have uploaded in your Facebook Messenger stories. If you want to highlight any of these stories you must press them and click on the option that says ‘Highlight’. But if you want to share that story, all you have to do is click on the option that says ‘Share’ and select where it will be shared .
On the other hand, if you want to post that photo in an updated story so that others can see it, you just have to enter the photo you want and select the option that says ‘Add as story’.
Using PC
