Snapchat's Stories are one such popular one feature which forced Instagram and Facebook Messenger to provide their users with similar services. Now, Facebook too seems to be adopting a similar Stories feature, among others.
Facebook Stories will appear at the top of your News Feed and consist of videos and photos that you have in common with your friends. Facebook Stories will appear there for 24 hours, but not in your Timeline or News Feed, unless you want to post it there.
To add a story to Facebook Stories, simply click on the "Your Story" icon in the Stories bar that (will) appear at the top of your News Feed.
Bad Fails, Facebook Stories could upset some users as it will be the first thing you'll see at the top of your News Feed, whether you want it or not.
Facebook added a new feature called Direct. The tool will allow users to share individual pictures or videos with their friends, and which can only be shown once.
The image or video will then be deleted. Needless to say, Facebook's Direct feature is similar to Snapchat's, since it essentially does the same thing and has about the same UI.
In addition to that, Facebook completely redesigned it camera and added many effects, such as masks, frames and interactive effects. 
Facebook also said it would add new creative effects to the camera in the coming months. New features have already begun to be released for Facebook users on Android and iOS, just weeks after updating their Messenger app with a similar feature.
