SNAPCHAT INTRODUCES A NEW FEATURE CALLED ‘SHARED STORIES’

Sun 29 May 2022:

Snapchat, the popular social media network, has launched Shared Stories, a new way for Snapchatters to form communities around the content they enjoy snapping.

Shared Stories, according to the firm, is a new version of Custom Stories, which previously allowed Snapchat users to create a Story and invite friends to view and contribute to it.

“Now, with our new and improved Shared Stories, Snapchatters who have been added to the group can add their friends, making it easier for the whole soccer team, camp squad, or group of new coworkers to get in on the fun,” the firm wrote in a blog post.

“Like with all of our products, we have built this feature to be safe by design,” it added.

For example, like all Stories on Snapchat, Snaps sent to a Shared Story delete after 24 hours. Unlike regular friend Stories and Groups, there is no chat component, keeping all conversations between friends.

Content is moderated with care, using a combination of automatic language detection and new community review tools that empower Snapchatters to play an active role in keeping Snaps in Shared Stories safe and fun.

“We also notify Snapchatters if they have joined a Shared Story with someone they have blocked. This gives Snapchatters the opportunity to leave the Shared Story, and ensures Snapchatters are always in complete control over who they share content with on our platform,” the company said.

Snapchat aims to enable Snapchatters turn shared moments into shared memories with its next-generation Story, according to the company.
