Snapchat updating chronological Stories feed [report]
The Engadget has reported that Snapchat is changing its chronological Stories feed as a part of its redesigning efforts.
Jon Fingas says, “The Snapchat team may have acknowledged that some aspects of its big redesign haven’t gone over well. Some users have reported seeing the Stories feed revert to the classic chronological order, rather than the algorithmically sorted feed influenced by services like Instagram. It’s unclear whether this is a test, part of a full-scale switch or something else entirely. We’ve asked Snap for comment.
The algorithmic approach, which surfaces Stories from people you’re more likely to chat with or watch, may have helped Snap’s bottom line — the company did see its user growth improve in its latest quarter. However, the out-of-order feed it’s great for everyone. While it helps newcomers connect with favorites and may help if you only interact with handful of people, it’s a hindrance if you’re a heavy user who wants to catch Stories the moment they’re relevant, rather than hours later”.
