Difference between sharing on news feed and your story

When you share a post on Facebook, you have the option to share it on your News Feed or your Story. Here are the main differences between the two:

Sharing on News Feed:

1. Permanent: Posts shared on your News Feed are permanent and remain visible on your timeline until you delete them.
2. Public: By default, posts shared on your News Feed are public, meaning anyone can see them, including people who are not your friends.
3. Reach a wider audience: News Feed posts can reach a wider audience, including people who are not your friends, as long as they have a mutual friend or have liked your page.
4. Engagement: News Feed posts can generate more engagement, such as likes, comments, and shares, as they are more visible to a larger audience.

Sharing on Your Story:

1. Temporary: Posts shared on your Story are temporary and disappear after 24 hours.
2. Private: By default, posts shared on your Story are private, meaning only your friends can see them.
3. Limited audience: Your Story is only visible to your friends, unless you choose to share it with a broader audience by using the "Share" feature.
4. More casual: Your Story is a more casual way to share updates, behind-the-scenes content, or personal moments, as they are intended to be temporary and fleeting.

When to use each:

• Use News Feed for:
  • Important updates or announcements
  • Sharing content that you want to be permanent and visible to a wider audience
  • Sharing content that requires engagement or discussion
• Use Your Story for:
  • Sharing casual updates or behind-the-scenes content
  • Sharing personal moments or experiences
  • Sharing content that you want to be temporary and fleeting

Remember, you can always adjust the privacy settings for both News Feed and Story posts to suit your needs.
