部分用户可以直接在Facebook上查看Instagram stories

上个月，Facebook 开始合并Facebook Messenger和Instagram聊天功能；这一次，他们又做了新测试——让部分用户可以直接在Facebook上查看Instagram Stories。这也是Facebook想要融合旗下的各类产品作出的又一次新的尝试。

因为FB本身也有发布限时动态（FB story）的通道，所以这次测试将FB story和Ins story用不同的颜色区分开来（FB story 外围是蓝色圈，Ins story外围是紫橙色圈）。

这次的测试仅在部分用户中进行，以期了解用户的反馈。同时他们称考虑了隐私等问题，用户可以取消这一功能。

Some Facebook users have recently noticed that they can now watch their Instagram stories right from within the main social network app. Facebook has long allowed (and encouraged) cross-posting of Instagram stories to Facebook to help build momentum for its own version of the format — but a new test brings Instagram stories right into Facebook for direct viewing.

You’ll know whether you’re looking at a Facebook or Instagram story based on what color encircles the profile photo; Facebook stories have blue circles, and Instagram’s have the same pink / orange hues of the app icon.

Matt Navarra confirmed with a Facebook spokesperson that this is a “limited test,” and that the company will be listening to feedback. The spokesperson noted that the feature “respects all existing privacy settings” and said Instagram users have the option to keep their stories off of Facebook altogether if they wish.

The move is yet another step in Facebook’s effort to bring its platforms closer together. Last month, Facebook began merging Facebook Messenger and Instagram chat; WhatsApp will eventually also become part of this unified chat experience.  source
