Anecdata, population size like ... a dozen. I've noticed a lot of my friends, some of whom are "influencers", have tilted towards Instagram Stories and Messages over Snapchat. Snapchat doesn't work or load nearly as smoothly, and it's starting to feel like the bad parts of MTV. Instagram is already the primary social hub, and IG stories feel more human for some reason.<p>Snapchat lately has started to feel ultra, ultra manufactured and I think it's turning a lot of people off. For example, their "no remotely scandalous content in stories" policy seems deeply at odds for the use of the app. Snap stories used to be "watch me do coke off this hooker, and leave no evidence" - now they're "Buy Fit Tea! Thanks Calvin Klein!" Why would I volunteer to see _more_ ads?<p>This feels like too little, too late. Stop loading and displaying Vice "Live branded content" before my friends content (the stuff I care about) , stop being prudes (you're a sexting app!), and test your shitty app on something besides an iPhone 7+.
I don't know about you guys but SnapChats UI is a nightmare.
I tried the group thing and it didn't give me any indication that it was made or sent to the users in the group.
I couldn't even find the group after I made it to send the same people another Snap.<p>Maybe it's just me but I've always found their UI confusing.
I feel like this is becoming a small scale "war" between facebook and Snapchat. First, Instagram copies some features of Snapchat; now Snapchat copies a feature of Whatsapp. While I do see the usability of the group feature, this is starting to look a bit ridiculous.
Not sure if its just me, but on an updated version of CM shamu Snapchat is unoptimized and buggy, not even allowing me to watch one or two stories before crashing. Anyone else getting this with CM?
