Social Media Story Updates

The New Snapchat Stories Update Allows Users to Personalize Their Story

The newest Snapchat Stories update offers a feature that many have been requesting of the social media company since Stories first became part of the app.

The new update allows people with Snapchat accounts to collaborate with other users in Stories. Users will be able to create a custom story that they can invite their Snapchat friends to contribute to, and the feature will also allow "friends of friends" to contribute to the Story using the app's "location-based technology called geo-fencing." The new Snapchat stories update could be used for a variety of events and trips that users may partake in.

This new update allows for more personalized sharing on Snapchat, and ultimately works to improve social interactions between users of the app.
