>> The launch demonstrates Facebook’s philosophy that while Snapchat may have invented Stories, it’s actually a fundamental content medium bigger than any one company. Facebook is not afraid to copy, no matter what critics say. All that matters is whether it’s valuable to users <<<p>So copying competitors' features is a "philosophy" now? :D
I can understand the strategic reason for embedding snapchat in every product, but I can not see how all those changes do anything different than making the user experience worse for those who don't use the Snapchat media format.<p>My contacts are already not using this feature on WhatsApp.
