Simply Wall St Wed, November 5, 2025 at 3:21 AM EST 2 min read Integral Ad Science has just expanded its partnership with Snap (SNAP), providing advertisers with new tools to measure and optimize ad performance across Snapchat. This move aims to boost transparency and help marketers understand campaign impact. See our latest analysis for Snap. Snap’s latest move to enhance advertising transparency comes as the stock remains under pressure, with a year-to-date share price return of -33.54% and a tough 1-year total shareholder return of -38.72%. Despite some promising new features, momentum has not shifted yet, and long-term returns remain deeply negative for investors. If you’re weighing opportunities beyond Snap, it’s worth broadening your scope and seeing what’s possible with fast growing stocks with high insider ownership. With shares trading at a notable discount to analyst targets and Snap reporting improved growth in ad tools, investors may wonder if a turnaround is on the horizon or if the market is already factoring in all future catalysts. Compared to Snap’s last close at $7.47, the most popular narrative sees the fair value at $9.28, hinting at meaningful upside and underappreciated growth levers beneath the surface.

Fearless is teaming up with two local authorities in the North East Author: Karen Liu Published 7 hours ago Young people in County Durham and Teesside are being urged to keep themselves and others safe from the illegal purchase and misuse of fireworks. Fearless, the youth service of Crimestoppers, has launched a new campaign to encourage them to speak up and stay safe this Autumn. Focusing on Bonfire Night, the charity is encouraging young people to remember that they have an important role in keeping themselves, their family, friends, and community safe. The Snapchat campaign, which is in partnership with Durham County Council and Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner, will run up to the 5th of November. Young people are reminded that it is illegal to buy ‘adult’ fireworks if under 18, and it’s against the law to set off or throw fireworks in the street or in a public place. Buying fireworks from unlicensed sellers is illegal and dangerous. These fireworks may not meet safety standards, increasing the risk of serious injury. The charity is urging young people to not feel forced into silence for fear of stigma or reprisal, but to speak up with information if they have

AS Australia’s social media ban for under-16s edges closer, children are already worried about losing touch with their friends. But while the onus is on social media platforms to act, researchers at the University of South Australia (UniSA) say the real battle will be at home – where parents must enforce the rules, manage their children’s reactions, and help them adjust. Child safety and wellbeing expert, UniSA’s Associate Professor Lesley-Anne Ey, says the key to a smoother transition is education, reassurance, and open, age-appropriate conversations. The first step, she says, is understanding why social platforms matter to kids. “Many children and teens use apps like Snapchat and TikTok to connect with their friends,” Assoc Prof Ey says. “They’ve grown up with this technology – it’s part of who they are – and they’re used to communicating through videos, emojis, photos and filters. “When the ban kicks in, kids may feel like they’re facing a social penalty where they won’t be able to connect with their friends in the same way. “The fear of losing touch with friends is real, so parents will need to invite questions and show understanding and empathy about what their kids will see as a loss.

Unlike the photo-heavy experience of the main app, Snapchat’s Apple Watch version is focused on messaging. Snapchat on Thursday officially launched a native app for the Apple Watch, bringing its signature fast-paced messaging to users' wrists. While major tech players like Instagram and Uber have long exited the smartwatch scene, Snapchat is betting on the opposite: that users still want to stay connected in more compact, subtle ways. Unlike the photo-heavy experience of the main app, Snapchat’s Apple Watch version is focused on messaging. The app will allow users to view incoming chats and reply instantly, without pulling out their phones. You will, however, not be taking selfies or accessing the camera or watching stories from the watch. But you can respond using a tiny keyboard, emoji, voice dictation, or even Scribble. It is quick, lightweight, and designed for what Snapchat calls “micro-connections.” “We know people want to stay in touch, whether they’re commuting, at the gym, or in a meeting,” a Snap spokesperson said. “This version makes it easier to keep conversations flowing, no matter where you are.” Snapchat’s decision to lean into the smartwatch ecosystem stands out because most platforms have scaled back their smartwatch features, citing low
