Everyone is now on Facebook and is the term News Feed is known to all. Those who do not use
it even will have an idea about it by its name. This is now introduced in Snapchat. This is the
app that has gained a lot of popularity in the last three years. This app has been the most popular
thing as people all around the world are talking about it vigorously. The hype is all about the
unique quality of the app to disappear images. The app has also many more added qualities and
the app is advancing every day with its updated features. The app has been realizing its latest
android version that gives something new again in the box.
The latest thing added
This time it’s the stories. It is much like the news feed of Facebook. This is a series of snap that
are to be published and you can send them to some specific friends. This will not be like the
snaps you sent. Usually the snaps you sent through the Snapchat app remains there for only 10
seconds and after that it disappears. But this story part has taken a great leap. It will be there for
long. The friends that you send these stories will be able to see the story for 24 hours. This will
be a narrative of snaps that you have sent in a day. Thus if you are on a tour and you snap all day
sending the pictures of your tour then at the end of the day the day you will get the story that will
have the narrative version of the tour through those snaps you shared earlier and were deleted
after 10 seconds. Within these 24 hours you can see these snaps any number of times you want.
Criticism
Many critics have criticized this part of Snap chat as according to them the app is moving away
from its regular feature that was its original attraction. If the snaps are remaining for 24 hours
then it can be said that the snaps are not getting deleted. The appearance of the pictures for 24
hours might breach the privacy of the users. There are also sayings that the app is deceiving
the users as none of the snaps are getting deleted. If those are deleted how come it is again
reappearing in the stories for 24 hours?
To conclude
But according to the developers it is very nicely designed. The users who are sharing their
photos through Snapchat app have liberty to choose whom they want their stories to see.
They can keep it public or even share it between some friends. The timings of each snap can be
determined by the person who is seeing the snap. The 24 hours stories are mainly for the brands
who want to market through the platform of Snap chat. The services when remain organized in
the form of stories becomes easy for the people to get what is being said through the ad. Thus the
public viewing of the stories is very much common for the marketers who just want to attract the
audience.
