Snapchat is launching its biggest redesign in years, simplifying from five tabs to three.
The new layout features:
1) a combined tab for messages and Stories with friends,
2) a central camera tab, and
3) a new full-screen feed of videos from creators and publishers, similar to TikTok.
This redesign, called “Simple Snapchat,” was revealed at Snap’s Partner Summit and aims to enhance content discovery and streamline user experience.
The Snap Map will now be accessible from the messaging tab, while Stories and the new For You feed will be integrated into the redesigned interface.
The update is intended to make Snapchat more competitive with TikTok and Instagram and improve monetization opportunities for creators.
