New Snapchat app redesign (CNET News)

Snapchat hopes the refresh will bring in new users, and aims to distinguish "the social from the media."

i personally dont like it as when you swipe to the right you dont see your mates story.

[robertantonescu]

you won’t see the stories in chronological order also you won’t see the snaps of people you don’t talk to. Snap story views will plummet. You won’t be able to reach out to everyone on your snap to post something funny or ask questions or interact. The idea that people u don’t always talk to can see your story is the best part. It makes your Snapchat you. If you want just your friends to see something you can just send them a snap

How bout you don’t change what’s not broken eh

[Chris-]

They shouldn't change it. I know for a fact that most people won't like the new changes.

I feel like this actually makes it look older. Also, it complicates the left side way too much while there is just basically ads on the right.

[lukasrohrmoser]

The new design is making me use Snapchat less wich is pretty the opposite of what they want. And I don't think I'm the only one

[milespfranklin]

They need to make it better for Android

[nathaniel]

I wish I could turn discover off. I don't care about any of that, I just want my friends

[TKxDemon]

Ok so now I’m never going to swipe left.. lit

[meowpower]

Aka we wanted more space for ads so we dedicated an entire side to shit no one cares about and made stories way more complicated

[HoRcHaTa-xiog]

We need a Snapchat lite. I don't need half of this shit.

[knexpert]

They should let people sponsor their own snapchat stories instead of that spammy news article looking curated content that no one gives a shit about

[tieword]

Trash. Might as well get rid of the right side all that is aids anyways. I swear every single update of apps and phones lately have just been ruining something that was perfectly fine

[synSFI]

Honestly I thought the change was just for Android cause that version of the app was sort of dreadfully laggy. But I guess they decided to change the whole thing together. I guess cheers to a new learning curve.

[hipnhappenin]

is this different?
Edit: Never mind. I guess I just don’t use Snapchat enough to notice. Or care.

[ThomasTheTankEngine]

Just make it better for Android geez. It's been way too long. Android cameras are eclipsing iPhones and yet the quality is almost always trash

[bishahotels]

they should honestly have story customization options. There should be an option in settings that allows people to view it and chronological order, and the other option that allows you to prioritize friends when viewing stories. Also the same thing with the chat and discover, except it would be "classic mode" and "modern mode".

[danielcalderon]

They should add a dark mode and fix some bugs as well make things simpler before changing the whole layout hoping for more users.

[Jaket]

I hardly have anyone on it so im glad this update is coming out so theres more stuff to do when u have less friends

[gokulb]

Unless and until they make it better for Android it won't get more users
