The internet has brought the world together. People from all over the world use the same apps, watch the same videos, and consume the same content. This has led to a loss of originality and homogeneity. Trillion-dollar companies are also affected by this. When a social media app introduces a new feature that becomes popular, its competitors copy it. Instagram Reels is a recent example of this. However, the desired success may not always be achieved. For example Google is removing a copied feature from YouTube. Here are the details… YouTube Says Goodbye to Its Underutilized Stories Feature! Snapchat’s “Snap” feature has been a hit, quickly gaining popularity among users. However, it didn’t take long for its competitors to respond. Many applications, most notably Instagram, introduced their own versions of the “Stories” feature. YouTube was one of these competitors, implementing a feature that allowed creators to post content that would automatically disappear after a week. This was similar to Instagram’s Stories and offered a new way for creators to share their work. Unfortunately, due to its limited appeal, it seems that this feature may be on its way out. The official discontinuation of the Stories feature has been announced by

How To Enable Snapchat's Dark Mode On Android & iPhone (The Official Way) Snapchat finally has a dark mode for Android, but it's only available for select users at the moment. Here's how to enable it on Android and iPhone. Like most social media apps, Snapchat has a dark mode that can be enabled for both Android and iPhone. Snapchat's dark mode was first rolled out in 2021, but only for iPhone users. At the time, Snapchat didn't introduce dark mode on Android, and despite repeated requests from Android users, took its time releasing the feature. A dark mode for Android has now been officially released, but at the moment, it's only available for select users. To turn on Snapchat's dark mode on Android, users will need a Snapchat+ subscription. Since dark mode has been a highly coveted feature, Snapchat is initially releasing it only to paid subscribers. However, the app listing on the Google Play Store mentions that wider availability is coming soon. To enable Snapchat dark mode on Android, tap on your Bitmoji to open your profile, and then tap on the Snapchat+ subscription card. Tap on the 'Dark Mode' toggle to turn it on, and the app

A new augmented reality filter adds color and images to a Snapchat user’s nails, allowing them to virtually try on a specific manicure before buying a bottle of nail polish. The new technology will be introduced in cooperation with the cosmetics company OPI. Image source: The Verge The filter shows pretty much how the new shade might look on the user’s nails. Of course, some colors look more realistic, others less so. For example, matte light blue gives the hands a blue tint, but mauve looks completely natural. Additionally, the filter is quite capricious and requires you to place your hands in front of the camera in a specific way. Snapchat has added many virtual try-on features recently, from beauty products like lipstick to clothing and accessories. Some try ons offer a direct buying impulse, such as a recent partnership with Amazon to try on and buy sunglasses that allows you to go straight to the store. There’s no e-commerce element to OPI’s campaign — users have to search for their chosen nail polish color themselves — but it fits in with other Snapchat collaborations and the company’s broader ambitions for augmented reality shopping. In March, Snap announced the launch

Google has been steadily revamping its Android Contacts app, but the next apparent upgrade might feel too invasive for some. That’s because it could add Google Maps and Weather information for where your contacts are – potentially making it feel like a version of Snapchat’s Snap Map feature.So far, Google’s Contacts upgrades have been pretty small but nevertheless good additions to the app. Earlier this year it got a tablet-optimized layout – perfect for the new Google Pixel Tablet announced at Google I/O 2023 – and it also received Birthday reminders. If you have Birthday information for a contact, the app can remind you to call or text them on their special day.According to leaks, the next update could bring a few changes. Firstly, at the more minor end, images shared by @Nail_Sadykov on Twitter show a slightly different design for individual contacts pages – buttons to Call, Text, Video and Email the person will now appear in circular bubbles below their picture. The Highlights tab will also get a new box, recommending contacts that you should add to your Favorites.However, the bigger change is the addition of Maps and Weather data to your Contacts’ pages. If you have their
