The app has changed from its central theme of peer-to-peer photo sharing to now including different users' 'Stories" comprising 24 hours of different content and "Discover," which allows businesses and people to offer plenty of short-form advertisements with supported content.
Users can upload and store photos in the "my eyes only" section, which will be easy for people to access a password in a protected area as they can preserve their images. End-to-end encryption has also been used, albeit in a limited capacity, with hopes of expanding its application.

What is Time Sensitive Notifications Snapchat?
The introduction of the time-sensitive feature was part of the iOS 15 release, which only impacts Apple users. Android users can breathe a sigh of relief as this update doesn't affect them. However, Snapchat implemented the time-sensitive feature in May as part of a comprehensive app update. Unfortunately, this update hasn't been well received by users, leading to frustration expressed on Twitter. One Twitter user voiced their discontent, saying, "Why are Snapchat messages labeled 'Time Sensitive'? Are y'all trying to force-read receipts on me?" Time-sensitive notifications prioritize certain messages over others, aiming to ensure important notifications don't go unnoticed. It's worth noting that the time-sensitive feature is not exclusive to Snapchat and can be found in various other apps as well.
