Snapchat Discover!

Everyone uses Snapchat! Including you… 

Just recently Snapchat has been adding a bunch of new qualities to their app that makes it completely different from any other photo-sharing app! They have cool features like SnapCash, which allows you to 'snap' someone money into their bank account. There's your story, which allows you to post a picture or video for all of your Snapchat friends to see! They even hold events that you can watch on your story while people upload them in real time! Honestly, there is no other form of social media like Snapchat that allows you to share pictures and video so quickly and in such good quality. 


Well, Snapchat has just released a new feature that COMPLETELY changes how quickly and how much media we can receive through our phones. With Snapchat Discover, different networks like CNN, Comedy Central, ESPN, and even the Food Network can share things with their app-users. Not only is this medium quick, fun and interactive; but the information on the app is recent, un-biased and interesting to learn from. It's completely different from Facebook or Twitter because these are stories/articles shared from actual networks, instead of your friends. I look forward to all the different articles my Snapchat Discover has to offer everyday; my favorite is the Vice channel, where they talk about cool stories about social justice issues or the mistreatment of people in other countries. Snapchat Discover is accessible to almost everyone and I hope they take advantage to learn about issues happening in our country and our planet. Here's a very great article getting deeper into Snapchat Discover and how it works. Snapchat has easily become my favorite app because I can share things with my friends, but more importantly I can be more aware and up-to-date with actual events happening around the world.
