Snapchat dives deeper into news with Story Explorer
- 8 years ago
Snapchat is making its Live Stories more interactive.
The company is adding a new feature to the live video section of its app that allows users to dive into stories they want to see more about.
The feature, called Story Explorer, will offer users a closer look at significant events in their city as they happen, via the city's Live Story.
When browsing a Live Story for either city, you'll see a new "Explore" tab at the bottom of certain Snaps.
Swipe up and you'll be able to see more Snaps about the same event.
The goal, the company says, is to allow users to see breaking news and other important moments from more perspectives.
"It’s the first time you’ll be able to experience that incredible game-winning dunk from thousands of perspectives throughout the stadium — or feel like you’re right there on the scene when breaking news unfolds," Snapchat wrote in a blog post announcing the feature.
