Facebook has turned to its sister application, Instagram, to boost the popularity of the 'Stories' feature. 

The latest test feature was spotted by some of the users including Next Web?s Matt Navarra and Twitter user @mruiandre. 

The users noticed that they were given an option to share their Instagram Stories on Facebook. This was followed by Instagram confirming that this feature is currently being tested. 

Facebook also has the Stories feature but it failed to gain the popularity of the Instagram counterpart. However, the sharing option will allow the users to have their Stories available on both the social media sites. 

Since long, Instagram users are given the option to share their pictures and video posts on Facebook. Interestingly, no content travels the other direction.

The Stories feature, which is a copy of the Snapchat feature, was added to Instagram in August 2016.
