Snapchat Adds Feature to Spotlight User-Generated Content
The social media company will hand out $1 million each day for the best Spotlight posts.
TikTok’s influence is extending to rival platform Snapchat. The camera-app co-opted Instagram Stories as a place to push custom content. Instagram does not allow you to include Instagram-generated photos in your own iMessage messages. The warning from Japan is likely to be taken lightly by Snapchat.
An end to Facebook's revenue-share payments, an exchange rate collapse in Asia, a possible Microsoft acquisition and a series of other problems for the company have sapped Snapchat's momentum. Previously in March 2013, Microsoft bought Snapchat rival FastMail for $3.2 billion.
An increasingly prevalent messaging app, Whatsapp was built by two Penn State University students to let friends see each other's location — but the app has become a symbol of first amendment rights for privacy breaches and abuse.
Whatsapp by some metrics is the most used app in the world today. While a connected connected smartphone appears entirely new, the app was much like a messenger addressed to direct messages as well as to navigation and tone of voice applications. The beginnings of the app can still be found in one of Mark Zuckerberg's 2014 college announcements, "Connecting 3 Billion and Changing the World."
In a tumultuous year for the user experience its also the largest mobile messaging service in the world boasting over 4 billion strong messages traded every day.
When news broke of and leaked WhatsApp founder Jan Koum's effort to buy a rival, social media reactions were swift. Users were outraged, pleading for an age-old form of popular communication. Users flooded the media airwaves demanding repercussions for the regulatory team at WhatsApp.
The appeals were all besides the point for WhatsApp's users who feared for their lives. WhatsApp users are known to communicate via encryption to ensure the privacy of their messages. WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton launched an encrypted note to the media, explaining how WhatsApp adopted this technology during their launch.
Whatsapp users believe that if you are a social media celebrity and content creator or you have payments and economy for your accounts it is likely that your identity has been compromised. Other users concerned with the sensitive nature of their data believe that your data is likely in the hands that are conducting this unsettlingly detailed corporate espionage.
Many users decided to boycott the app completely. Take the popular messaging app Instabug for example. Instabug started from popular demand and was short lived forcing most of its 30,000 users to download another messenger. Recently then acquired by WeTransfer, Instabug issued a statement revealing their users had circumvented their encryption when signing up for Live for Web
