Snapchat has just launched a new feature called Custom Stories that allows users to capture huge moments with friends, family, coworkers and other groups. More precisely, this latest perk will allow for geofenced or global stories with folks that you only want to include. To enable a Custom Story, you will need to tap the revamped “Create Story” emblem located on the top right corner of the Stories display. Then, you’ll give your Story a moniker and finally invite your desired squad who will participate in sharing stories.

It’s important to note that Snapchat will establish a 1-block geofence around your location; only friends in your current area will be permitted to share Stories. If no one contributes to the collaborative Story within 24 hours, then it will disappear on the social media platform. You can also choose to delete the Story at any given time. Additionally, participants can only create three custom Stories at a time when the feature is live. Conclusively, the sole purpose of this new feature is that it reaches out to your friends to take part in capturing moments under one event.

Check out the new feature in action by watching the promotional video above and then let us know your thoughts. You can find more information by visiting Snap Inc.’s official website.
