Location stories are made available on iOS and Android whereas, hashtag stories will start rolling out in the next week.
Location stories
After updating to the latest version of the app, you can find a new story ring located at the top of Explore tab. It consists of all the stories near you. All those stories are from friends who used location stickers while uploading their stories.
