After Snapchat turned down Meta, Zuckerberg worried about the rise of Stories.
Briefly

In 2014, Zuckerberg recognized the potential threat of Snapchat's Stories to Instagram and his messaging platform. He urged his team to consider this new feature as both a competitive risk and a chance to innovate Instagram's offerings. He emphasized the need to integrate similar functionalities to meet user demands, suggesting that Snapchat's growth positioned it as a stronger competitor for Instagram's core functionalities, particularly with regard to user engagement in the Stories format.
We need to take this new dynamic seriously -- both as a competitive risk and as a product opportunity to add functionality that many people clearly love and want to use daily.
Snapchat is now more of a competitor for Instagram and News Feed than it ever was for messaging.
