iOS users should already see the update: the Snapchat Stories from friends are once again on the same page as celebrity-posted ones. Even better, snaps and chats are organized again in chronological order.
While the Snapchat petition didn’t have an impact on Snap’s decision, the company was swayed by a YouGov research. Its findings? Millenials hate the new Snapchat, as evidenced in an alarming graph.
“The 73% decrease has essentially wiped out all the positive consumer sentiment Snapchat has gradually built since the beginning of 2016,” pointed out YouGov.
