story views

Tale consumption count

Story views is a social media metric counting how many times users have watched an ephemeral post—the short-lived photos or videos that disappear after 24 hours on platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook.

Unlike permanent posts, stories create urgency, and view counts let creators see who's paying attention: She checked her story views obsessively after posting.
