Facebook is really desperate to make Stories work in its main app
Facebook really wants people to view Instagram Stories on its main app, so much so that the social network is now turning to Instagram to see if its teen-friendly app can get the feature to finally stick.
Instagram is testing a new feature that allows people to share their Story directly to Facebook.
Under the test, Instagram users see a new option to share photos and videos created with Instagram’s in-app camera to their Facebook Story, as well as their Instagram Story, according to screenshots posted to Twitter.

It’s not clear how big the current test is or what Instagram’s future plans are for the feature. In a statement, an Instagram spokesperson confirmed the test, but declined to share more about the company’s plans.
“We are always testing ways to improve the experience on Instagram and make it easier to share any moment with the people who matter to you. We have no other plans to share at this time.”
While it may seem unusual for the photo-sharing app to be testing such a close integration with Facebook, as the two have traditionally been kept separate, it’s not altogether surprising.
