Snapchat was launched in 2011 as an instant photo messaging and video messaging app, you could send a 10 2d video or a picture that could last for up to 10 seconds before it would 'self-destruct' and delete itself from your recipient's device.

A simple premise that was built upon by each Snapchat update.

Then we were blessed past the Snapchat Gods and they gave united states of america Stories, which were generalised snaps that you could post without really sending it directly to any of your friends. Information technology would just be present there on the app for all your Snapchat friends to see.

The story section of the app allows you to share snaps with all your friends at once, with the choice to watch them or not.

Other updates brought the app out of obscurity and onto the primary social media stage as they introduced Discover, which is a news based section of the app, Memories, Snapchat messaging, and Snap Map.

Over vii billion pictures and videos are sent and viewed each day on Snapchat, simply as someone who uses the app non-stop I was surprised to ask the question: 'How long do Snapchat stories last?'

Well, Snapchat stories last 24 hours in the sense that once you mail the snap to your story, information technology will remain in that location for 24 hours only.

Afterward that, they will disappear from your Snapchat feed forever unless yous accept saved your story, then it will only remain on your device storage or on the Snapchat storage section memories.

The question that I had actually never thought about was how long tin can a Snapchat story go on for?

In reality at that place is no set answer, you can constantly be updating your story if yous like, it probably won't exist that exciting, just it will exist very long.

In the past Snapchat stores had a timer on the top correct hand corner with the amount of seconds left in the story inset in the timer.

In further updates of the app they removed the exact second timer and left but a circle timer.

One time when nosotros saw friends who had over 100 second story we rolled our eyes, now we are probably watching over 100 second stories and barely noticing.

There are a lot of varying factors, it depends on how long you gear up to display your photos, and how long the videos you post are.

If you put upwards 1 10 second video/picture each hour of the day then you would have a 240 2nd (iv minute) long story.

At that place are reports of a 10,000 second story online, which is nearly 3 hours long, and would definitely be a contender for the longest e'er Snapchat story.

You lot could endeavour information technology out yourself but disclosure: your friends won't like you for information technology.

In theory, if there is no limit to your story possibilities so you could have a story that lasted 86,400 seconds -24 hours long.

But own't no trunk got time for that…
