Snapchat has evolved WAY past the simple self-destructing photo messenger it started as. And today, the app took a big leap forward by introducing 'Memories,' basically a Camera Roll inside the Snapchat app that lets you save, search, and replay or re-share old photos and videos.
Snapchat, famous for dealing with the problem of rising attention spans by whittling the life of a photo down to 10 seconds, has gotten a little more time-friendly with an update that includes a limited option for re-viewing images later.
Since it first burst onto the scene, Snapchat has become a major player in the social fabric of today. Once, the self-destructing photo messaging model was considered a fad, but no more. As Snapchat surges towards the possibility of a billion dollar valuation and usage statistics continue to climb, that "fad" is clearly more than just that.
But that doesn't mean the Snapchat team has been sitting in the office twiddling their thumbs, they've been hard at work creating an exciting update that was finally announced today called Stories.
