Making ads more interchangeable across platforms saves marketers the headache of having to remake each piece of their content to fit individual specifications, but it can also dilute the aesthetic of a particular app. Adapting Facebook ads as brand Instagram stories risks diminishing the in-the-moment quality that's made the feature such a success.

Instagram first rolled out its Snapchat-clone stories feature a year ago, and it began selling ads through it in March. A Facebook spokesperson said more than half of businesses on the site have created a story in the past month.

Facebook also announced on Tuesday that it will now allow for stories to be sent through Instagram DMs.
