Consider firing your software engineer. The new, dramatically different update has sparked well-deserved outrage within the Snapchat consumer base. When it comes to efficiency and design, the social media app is sub-par, due to poorly engineered software and substandard graphics. By condensing the social aspect of the app and drawing more attention to the media aspect, it undermines the functions that users originally downloaded the app for. Snapchat gave its users a redesign–one they never asked for–and are facing the consequences. Hence why it should be in Evan Spiegel’s (founder and CEO of Snap, Inc.) best intentions to reconcile with his consumers and recover the previous version.
Trust Yourself Not The Media “You may have heard about snapchat”. It is a mobile app that is used to send a picture or video message that disappears after 1 - 10 seconds. “Snapchat combines the best of social networks, magazines and television in” its feature called discover. Discover is made of articles and videos from popular networks such as CNN and Cosmopolitan.
Snapchat with all its promises has penetrated the photo-sharing aspect of Facebook with more than 400 million Snaps (photos) being shared every day. So much so, that now it holds 46% of the photo-sharing market equaling Facebook. The threat was so imminent that Facebook sought out to acquire Snapchat with an offer of 3$ Billion in November 2013, which was brutally rejected by Snapchat CEO; Evan Spiegel .
INTRODUCTION Snap, founded in 2012 as a mobile application called ‘Snapchat’, has become a golden child of this social media era. In basic terms, Snapchat is an ephemeral natured messaging app which allows its users to send and receive self-destructing, short spanned photos and videos from their friends or followers. One may find this feature quite naive but Snap has come a long way from being just a photo-video sharing app to rightfully being listed as one of the most innovative companies of 2017. Every consumer, influencer, media brands and even rivals are viewing the world through Snapchat’s lenses.
Thus, they are always willing to pose a challenge and take risks. In 2013, there are majorities of people assuming that Snapchat’s CEO - Evan Spiegel, did make an unwise decision when rejecting an acquisition offer of three billion dollars from Facebook, particularly Mark Zuckerberg. Conversely, having turned down a considerable amount of money does not mean that Spiegel refuse a golden opportunity of wealth because frankly, he does not need that money at all. In fact, Snapchat’s CEO, accompanied by co-founder Bobby Murphy, has been already over twice or three times richer, so they can establish a company and invest heavily without fear of bankruptcy. Nicholas Carlson (2013) concluded: “And what did that money — his father's and his own — buy him?

Snapchat and Instagram are my top two favorite social media apps. Although they are both similar to each other they are also very different from each other. Some of the most interesting things about them are: the people who created them, the variety of features that both have, and their statistics. Snapchat was created by Evan Spiegel and Bobbie Murphy. It was then launched in September 2011.
