Step 4. Set the end date to January 1, 2019. With that, the counting ends exactly at the turn of the year. You can also set a specific time by unchecking the "All day" option. However, keeping the option selected will cause the countdown to continue until the first hour of the selected day. Touch "Finish" and then "Your story" to post the count.
