This is how Snapchat now shows its stories

The application of ephemeral messaging continues to grow and evolve. And it is that Snapchat still has a lot to mature. However, step by step it is finding its way and making things easier for users who want to share all kinds of moments and instants without having to render accounts later Thus, updates your application again to change several details, among which the Discover section stands out, which is now closer to see your stories with just a couple of screen taps

This is an update with a clever move to give more visibility to the stories of Snapchat Not those of the users who follow, but those that take place during live events, in addition to the contents of the Discover section, which are published by different media and content creators And it seems that the application wants to take advantage of these stories and make them more visible to its audience A clear commitment to monetize this section and ensure the creators the visibility of these videos and stories.

The change is quite subtle, and it is a reorganization of contents. In this way, the tab Discover where the different content channels were now located on the Stories screen. Right at the top and like a carousel.A good way to get the attention of users, who now only have to click on the content channel they want to visit, without having to access the sectionDiscover as before. A way to save a step and place this content in a more visible place

And the same goes for Live Stories from SnapchatAnd it is that the sports and social events that are followed by the application, publishing videos and snapsfor all users, they also have an important place on this screen. Instead of being listed one below the other, as was the case to date, the channels that are broadcasting any of these events are also placed at the top of the screen , just below the Discover channelsA more colorful way to find out what's going on without having to scan the entire screen looking for it.

With this, it is clear the intention of Snapchat to deliver this content to users, without hiding it in other sections of the application or scatter them among the rest of the stories. A shrewd move that may well be related to the monetization of the content channels of Discover And it is that it is the way in which this application would be making money, offering a channel with more and more users to these content creators, in exchange for a payment.

However, Snapchat still doesn't provide any data on how this content is doing, or how much money it might be making. Of course, this section Discover and its different channels have only been in operation for six monthsIt is logical, therefore, that it continue experimenting and trying to give the maximum possible visibility to this content. In any case, users can now check out the new app design by downloading Snapchat for both Android as for iOS through Google Play and App Store It's completely Free
