Microsoft has announced that the Xbox mobile software for iOS and Android will be updated to allow you to share your game moments in the form of Snapchat-style Stories. Gameplay clips, images, and achievements are all compatible with the new sharing format, which can be found on the Xbox app’s home screen by hitting the “+” button next to your gamertag.

Xbox is also getting new network management options.A couple of years ago, stories were all the rage, with everyone from Instagram to LinkedIn to Spotify copying the style in their individual apps.

That said, it’s a little awkward seeing a landscape video taking up such a small sliver of a portrait phone screen in Microsoft’s imagery above.Alongside the new Xbox app feature, Microsoft has also announced a new Quality of Service (QoS) tagging feature on Xbox consoles. It’s designed to prioritize traffic that’s…

A few years back, when Meta copied Snapchat’s Stories format, and made it into its own on Instagram, it seemed like Snapchat was going to struggle to remain relevant in the evolving social media landscape. But Snap stuck to its guns. It doubled down on its key use case, in connecting friends, and it continued to develop its still industry-leading AR tools and features, which has enabled Snapchat to both maintain relevance, while also building the foundations for a stronger future. And now, that connective capacity has it well-placed to boost its appeal to ad partners, with its focus on joy and positive engagement facilitating new opportunities.
