After much backlash and petition against its latest update made in the fall of 2017, Snapchat has backtracked on its decision to redesign its app.
Snap has confirmed to Recode that it’s testing a Snapchat change that would put your friends’ Stories in the Discover section alongside all the others, effectively reverting to its old model.
A spokesperson explained the move only by noting that Snap is “always listening to our community” and will “continue to test updates” that might improve the experience, but there are some potential explanations.
Snapchat redesign prompted harsh criticism especially from Kylie Jenner who she will stop using Snap resulting in stock price dropping.
The Snap spokesperson noted that the test interface revolves around “users’ behaviour, not just relationships.” It’s about what you’re trying to do, not who you’re doing it with — a simple strategy for a company that has lately been accused of making things unnecessarily complex.
