On a long enough timeline, every social media app trends to adding stories, and now it’s apparently TikTok’s turn: the popular video app is experimenting with a new stories feature. The feature was highlighted by Matt Navarra on Twitter, and a TikTok spokesperson confirmed the test in an email to The Verge. The new feature, simply called “TikTok Stories,” appears to work similarly to other stories functions on apps like Instagram or Snapchat. Stories live in a newly added slide-over sidebar, where you’ll be able to see stories posted by accounts that you follow on TikTok for 24 hours before they’re automatically deleted. Other users will be able to react and comment on your story, too. And just like on Instagram and other platforms, you’ll also be able to tap on a user’s profile picture to load a story. TikTok describes the feature in the app as “a new way to interact with your fans.” Users can create a new story by tapping a “create” button that’s been added to the sidebar, and they can add the usual captions, music, and text. True to TikTok’s video-first nature, it seems stories have to be videos, not still images. “We’re always thinking…

(Reuters) - Users of Facebook Inc's WhatsApp can now send disappearing photos and videos on its platform starting this week, as it looks to better compete with Snap Inc's photo messaging app Snapchat.The feature, called View Once, will let photos and videos disappear from the chat after they have been seen, Facebook said in a blog post https://about.fb.com/news/2021/08/view-once-photos-and-videos-on-whatsapp on Tuesday, adding that once the media content has been viewed, the message will be shown as "opened."Snapchat, known for its Stories feature that lets users post updates that disappear after 24 hours, has grown in popularity last year as pandemic-induced curbs kept users at home. The company has also been adding new features on its messaging app to attract more users.(Reporting by Akanksha Rana in Bengaluru; Editing by Maju Samuel)

Despite how things may seem, Snapchat hasn’t learned your birthday or birthplace on its own — you likely told it yourself. The app’s exact knowledge of the exact time, date, and location of a user’s birth has been an issue of some concern for users on Twitter and TikTok over the last few days, but it’s due to Snapchat’s Astrological Profile feature and not some nefarious new skill the app has gained as it’s soared in popularity over the last year. You can view your “Astrological Birthday” in the settings section of Snapchat, and if you weren’t aware you had already given the app all of that information, it would be a fairly alarming discovery. Checking baby photos will not reveal that the Snapchat Hot Dog has been with you since birth, however. Snapchat’s Birthday menu has a surprising amount of information about your birth — if you forget you told Snapchat yourself. Image: hegotbanks Snapchat tells The Verge that its Astrological Profile feature is the cause: The birth date and time information shown above was actually inputted by the users themselves in order to obtain more specific information, stemming from our latest astrological profiles feature. The feature requires exact…

Fewer things will make you feel more out of touch than coming across some newfangled lingo that you just can't comprehend. It's something I experienced as early as elementary school when other kids would randomly walk up to me and ask me if I "got beef." I had no idea what in the world they were referring to. What did meat have to do with school? And why were they being so aggressive when they asked me if I had any?Article continues below advertisementThanks to MTV's extensive coverage of East-Coast-West-Coast hip hop rivalries, I quickly came to understand what having "beef" means. And thankfully, the answers to new acronyms are now easily found on the internet. So if you've been browsing Snapchat and have seen the term "MBN" going around, we've got you covered on what it means.Source: TwitterArticle continues below advertisementWhat does "MBN" mean on Snapchat?It's short for "must be nice." And if you're wondering if that's a genuine commentary or a passive-aggressive one, it's definitely the latter. So, how would one go about even using this acronym when reacting or commenting on a post?It's probably best embodied by the song "Tulum," posted by musician, TikToker, and YouTuber Emoney.…

CANTON, New York (WWNY) - The day finally arrived. Graduation day for St. Lawrence University’s class of 2020. Last year’s commencement was cancelled because of COVID-19.“I still kind of can’t believe it’s happening,” said 2020 graduate Nicholle Gotham.Many students never thought they would have the opportunity to walk across the stage, especially after how last year ended for them- by being sent home prematurely.Thinking back to that time when the world started shutting down, 2020 graduate Ryan Young said, “It was one of the craziest weeks of my life. It was just really overwhelming. There were a lot of emotions running high.”Now, more than 400 days later, students were finally able to celebrate. About 350 students from last year’s class returned to campus for commencement, but some weren’t able to make it back. One student went out of his way to share the day with his friends who couldn’t make it.“I tried to make sure I shared this moment with them,” said 2020 graduate Michael Paulino. “Lots of Snapchat videos, lots of facetime calls, lots of crying on the phone.”For some grads, the celebration will be a quick one.“I’m starting my new job tomorrow,” Gotham said.The graduates were joined by…
