Snapchat's parent company Snap Inc is planning to lay off 20% of its staff starting this week, The Verge reported citing unnamed sources. According to the report, the lay-off will impact developers working on apps and games for Snapchat, the hardware division behind the AR glasses Spectacles, and in the Zenly team, the social mapping app which was acquired by Snap in 2017.  The ad department is also expected to be restructured as two senior executives Jeremi Gorman, the chief business officer at Snap, and Peter Naylor, vice president of ad sales, are reportedly moving to Netflix to run their ads business, according to a separate report in the Verge, which was confirmed by a Snap Inc spokesperson. The layoff plans have still not been confirmed by Snap Inc.  The US-based social media company currently employs over 6,000 people across the world. Snapchat has 347 million daily active users (DAU) as of the quarter ending June 30, growing year-on-year (YoY) at 18%, Snap Inc said in its quarterly financial results last month. Though the user base has grown, the company reported a net loss of $422 million, up from $152 million in the previous year.  Snap Inc has been looking…

Looks like Snapchat is the latest social media app to jump on the dual camera trend after Instagram and BeReal. On Monday, Snapchat announced that it would allow users to capture multiple perspectives at the same time. This is very similar to BeReal’s dual camera feature minus the timed prompt. Now, if you open your Snapchat, you’ll see a new icon in the camera toolbar. With one tap, you can start creating Snaps, Stories or Spotlight videos showing two angles. Snapchat’s Dual Camera comes with four layouts including vertical, horizontal, picture in picture, and cutout. Users can add to their Snaps with Snapchat creative tools, including music, Stickers and Lenses.  The new feature is now available globally on iOS which it’s expected to rollout for Android users in the coming months. Last week, Instagram was reportedly testing a feature called ‘Candid Challenges’ that looked suspiciously inspired by rival social app BeReal. This feature would prompt users to take and share a photo during a two-minute slot, the timing of which would vary each day. BeReal, which launched in 2020, has grown a massive following among Gen Z-ers in recent weeks, climbing to the top of Apple’s App store in July.…

Tyler Lee Aug 30th, 2022 In order to record yourself and the subject in front of you, you would require two cameras, but luckily our phones do come with dual cameras – one on the front and one on the back. The only problem is being able to utilize both at the same time, but the good news is that if you’re a Snapchat user, this will not be a problem.Snapchat has recently started to roll out an update for the app in which it will introduce a new Dual Camera feature. As the name implies, this will allow users to capture video from both the front and rear-facing cameras simultaneously, so for example if you’re recording a vlog and you want to show what’s going on in front of you while getting your own reactions, then this is where the Dual Camera feature will come in handy.According to Snap:“Open your Snapchat and you’ll see a new icon in the camera toolbar. With one simple tap, you can start creating Snaps and Stories, or more polished Spotlight videos, with double the perspective. Dual Camera is a creative way for our community to capture exciting moments while being part of the…

They’re an unusual sum of digits for which few understand the rationale. The only thing they know is that sending pictures to more than one pal at a time earns them bonus points. The easiest approach to raise your score is to send others snaps, but what does your score indicate and how can you raise it quickly? After all, there are Snapchatters with hundreds of thousands or more of points. Even while it may seem impossible, there are actually a few methods for rapidly increasing your score and performing a snap score hack. What Is Your Snapchat Score? The point of having a Snapchat score is not universally understood, despite the fact that everyone has one. Your Snapchat score is just a number that goes up as you send more snaps; it doesn’t mean anything in particular. You can’t use it for anything because it has no practical purpose. What it does reveal, though, is a user’s Snapchat activity level. High Snapchat ratings suggest that the user is active on the app frequently and shares numerous snaps with their friends. In all seriousness, except for tracking a user’s activities, the Snapchat score serves no other purpose. It’s a made-up…
