YouTube was testing the 'Stories' feature with only a limited number of users at the beginning. However, it appears that the company is planning to expand the reach of this feature and has started rolling out the feature for a wider user-base.

 

It was earlier reported that the feature was being rolled out for the Android version of the YouTube app, however, now the feature is making its way to the iOS version of the app as well. The feature is still to make its way to the majority of the users.

According to a report from the Beebom, the 'Stories' section on YouTube is not different from that of the Instagram 'Stories' in terms of UI. However, the users can distinguish between the 'Stories' of YouTube and Instagram with the help of the red-ring around the 'Stories' on YouTube which highlights the 'Stories' and is the dominant color-scheme on the platform.

As we mentioned earlier, YouTube is the latest social media platform which has joined the bandwagon of 'Stories' following Facebook and Instagram. Snapchat, on the other hand, had first introduced this feature back in 2016 following which the above-mentioned platforms have adopted this feature for their respective platforms.
