New York : Few days after Facebook got a Snapchat-like “Stories” update that lets users add effects to their photos and videos, Snap Inc has introduced a “Search” option that would give users power to search through the content they posted on its app.
Snapchat will enable users to search for photos and videos known as “Snaps” posted to the “Our Story” option on the app, by creating new “Stories” using machine learning technology, the company said in a blog post.
For instance, users can use the search feature to find “Snaps” related to events such as local basketball games and topics such as puppies. First introduced by Snapchat, “Our Story” feature is a slideshow of user content that disappears after 24 hours. Earlier this week, social media giant Facebook gave its users access to the new Facebook Camera feature in its app that lets them add effects to their photos and videos.
Facebook-owned Instagram and WhatsApp already got “Stories” update before Facebook rolled it out to its users. –IANS
