Stories — twenty-four hours, then gone
A photo, a short video, or just words on a colour. Your contacts see it for a day and then it expires on its own — no cleanup, no archive you forgot about, no post you have to remember to delete.
Three kinds
Photo, video, or a text card on a background colour you pick — each with an optional caption.
It expires itself
A story disappears twenty-four hours after you post it.
The tray at the top of Home
Stories live in a row of cards above your feed: your own card first, then one card per person who has something up, showing their newest story as the cover. When you have nothing posted, your card wears your own photo rather than a grey placeholder — a small thing that makes the row feel like people rather than placeholders.
Create is the first card
Posting a story is one tap from the top of Home, not three menus deep.
Newest as the cover
One card per person, showing their latest — the row does not get longer just because someone posted five.
Full screen on tap
The viewer takes over the screen and closes with a swipe down.
Posting one
Pick a photo or a video, or write text and choose a background colour, add a caption if you want one, and post. Photos are downscaled on the way up.
Photo or video
From your gallery, straight into a story.
Text on a colour
No camera needed — a sentence on a background is a complete story.
Captions
Optional on photo and video stories.
Taking one back
Your own stories carry a delete control in the viewer. Removing one takes it away before its twenty-four hours are up — you do not have to wait out a mistake. And because a story is separate from your feed, deleting one never touches a post, and a post never quietly becomes a story.
Delete before expiry
Yours only, from inside the viewer, immediately.
Separate from the feed
Stories are their own thing — they do not appear in My posts and they are not ranked.
What stories do not do
There is no archive that quietly keeps stories after they expire, and no cross-posting that puts your story into the public feed behind your back.
No silent archive
Expired means gone from what anyone can read.
No auto cross-post
A story is a story. Putting something in your feed is a separate, deliberate act.
Questions people actually ask
Who can see my story?
Your contacts. Stories are not public posts, and the rule is enforced by Sebairo's servers — a stranger is not shown your story at all.
Can I see who viewed my story?
No. Sebairo does not show a viewer list for stories today.
How long does a story last, exactly?
Twenty-four hours from posting. Once that time passes, nobody is shown it any more — including you.
Can I delete a story early?
Yes — open your own story and use the delete control. It comes down immediately rather than waiting out the day.
Is a story the same as a post?
No. They are different things stored differently: a post lives in your feed with its own audience setting and stays until you remove it; a story is shown to your contacts and expires by itself.
Why are my story photos smaller than the original?
Because they are downscaled on the way up, on purpose. A story is viewed on a phone screen for a day; carrying full-resolution originals and re-fetching them on every view costs your data and everybody else's for no visible gain.
