stories: Snapchat updates Shared Stories features, here’s what’s new – Times of India

Snapchat introduced a feature in 2017 for users to socialise more within the app. The Custom Stories feature allowed Snapchat users to make a Story and add friends to only view them. The platform has now updated and renamed the feature — Shared Stories — which will be a new way for users to involve friends in the creation of Stories. This newly updated feature will now allow users to invite other Snapchatters into that group to not only view but also contribute to the story. The social media platform will also use automatic language detection and other review tools to monitor additions and keep the contents of the group safe.
Snapchat’s Shared Stories availability
Snapchat has recently announced the Shared Stories feature. The company claims that users will now be able to see the update on the app. The new Shared Stories feature will be released for Snapchat users worldwide on all supported platforms. However, it might take a while before it reaches everyone.
Snapchat’s Shared Stories key details
This new feature in Snapchat will allow users to choose the people who can react or contribute to the stories with their additions. The company claims that this feature will allow users to form new collaborations with their content. However, Snaps sent to the Shared Stories will be deleted after 24 hours, just like regular stories on the platform.
Snapchat’s Shared Stories safety improvements
Snapchat has added a mix of automatic language detection and new community review tools to keep the users safe. This safety improvement keeps users’ content in Shared Stories safe by notifying them about the additions in the group. The company claims that this feature will also alert users if they accidentally join a Shared Stories group with someone they have blocked on the app. Snapchat has explained that this security tool allows “Snapchatters to leave the Shared Story.” This ensures users are always in total control over who they share content on the social media platform.
How is it different from Custom Stories?
The company has mentioned that the Shared Stories feature is “a new iteration of Custom Stories.” However, the old feature was more limited by location, while the new Shared Stories allows any user to contribute or participate, only if they are invited to the group.
