Telling your story

Pausing and recording again

You can stop to think. And if you are not happy, just start again.

Nobody tells a perfect story in one go. That is why you can stop along the way and start again.

Taking a short pause

While recording, tap "Pause". The recording stops for a moment. Fetch a cup of coffee or look for a photo. Tap "Resume" and you carry on where you left off.

Recording again

After "Stop recording" you can first watch or listen to your story. Not happy with it? Tap "Record again" and have another go. The earlier recording is then not sent.

Your story only goes to your family when you tap "Send story".

How long can a story be?

As long as you like, up to 30 minutes per story. Shortly before the end you will see a notice. After that the recording stops by itself, and you can still send it as normal.

Most stories last five to ten minutes. Do you have a lot more to tell? Then send this story and tell the rest when you answer the next question.

Already sent and forgot something?

That is fine. Read Made a mistake or forgot something?
