Shared Stories Turn Shared Moments to Shared Memories
Today, we’re introducing Shared Stories, a new way for Snapchatters to build community around the content they love to Snap.
Today, we’re introducing Shared Stories, a new way for Snapchatters to build community around the content they love to Snap.
Shared Stories is a new iteration of Custom Stories, a product that previously allowed Snapchatters to create a Story and add friends to view and contribute. Now, with our new and improved Shared Stories, Snapchatters who’ve been added to the group can add their friends as well, making it easier for the whole football team, camp squad, or group of new colleagues to get in on the fun.
Like with all of our products, we’ve built this feature to be safe by design. For example:
Like all Stories on Snapchat, Snaps sent to a Shared Story delete after 24 hours. Unlike regular friend Stories and Groups, there is no chat component, keeping all conversations between friends.
Content is moderated with care, using a combination of automatic language detection and new community review tools that empower Snapchatters to play an active role in keeping Snaps in Shared Stories safe and fun.
We also notify Snapchatters if they’ve joined a Shared Story with someone they’ve blocked. This gives Snapchatters the opportunity to leave the Shared Story, and ensures Snapchatters are always in complete control over who they share content with on our platform.
With this next generation Story, we’re hoping to help Snapchatters turn shared moments into shared memories. Have Snaps to share? Head to the profile page, tap new story, then select Shared Story to get started.
Happy Snapping!
