Earlier this month, TechCrunch announced the Snapchat search improvements , now it is finally in the App Store under Snapchat 10.0
It's no news that Snapchat has had a discovery issue, what do people think at first glance of the new set up?
Initial reaction is that the bitmoji avatar + name may confuse me if I have lots of contacts on Snapchat.
Also still no way to discover people my friends follow or like? Or just trending people/popular people? I would've thought this would be a focus to compete with Instagram
One thing I LOVE is how much quicker the app is to open onto the camera!! (may just be my new phone?)
@bentossell Looks really good. I love that they improved the search capabilities. Also, I really like that they integrated bitmoji even further inside the app. P.s All the animations between the views are ❤️
@bentossell I'm pretty much obsessed with Bitmoji (I credit @jacqvon with getting me hooked a while back) so I'm super pumped that people see that when they see my name in their contacts list on Snap.
As for the discovery issue, I completely agree. That's something that Snapchat still has yet to crack. If I want to follow a bunch of celebrity snap stories, don't make me Google their usernames! Just recommend them to me. 💁
So... Instagram shamelessly copies snapchat by ripping off stories, to which Snapchat responds by ripping the cards view from Facebook? No honor among Thiel's.
@enigmasama so everyone needs to come up with never-seen-before, original designs? sharing UI elements is great for consumers, imagine facing dramatically different interfaces in every app 😷
