It would be difficult to argue Snapchat's popularity. Millions of people find themselves on Snapchat daily. But even if you are not a frequent user of the app, it is likely that there are at least a few issues with Snapchat that you would change. Whether minor or major, they add up to your Snapchat experience and possibly determine your future usage of the app. Here is a list of some of the things you would most likely adjust if you ran Snapchat.
1. Mutual Best Friends Emoji
If you are a frequent Snapchat user, you are well aware of the many emojis you see by a contact's name. The little, blushing smiley face will sit next to their name when someone is one of your best friends. However, there is no way of telling that one of your best friends has you as one of their best friends. This seems very odd, due to the fact that Snapchat has the smirking face emoji for when someone is not one of your best friends but you are one of theirs. It only seems right to make an emoji to show the opposite and when you are both each others best friends.
2. Getting A Notification When A Streak Is About To Expire
Yes, the hour glass is a helpful reminder while on Snapchat. However, if you are on other apps or not using your phone, it would be nice to get a notification when your streak is in danger. Otherwise you would be unable to tell.
3. Searchable Bitmojis
Maybe you want to put a cute Bitmoji of you and a friend on a selfie. If you took the picture on Snapchat, but forgot to click their name before you took the picture, you are out of luck. A Bitmoji search bar sounds amazing and super helpful! You could also put each member of your group in the same picture by adding each person's Bitmoji's onto the photo.
4. Erase Tool
Everyone has that favorite filter that either makes them laugh uncontrollably or makes them look flawless. That is why it is so heart breaking when our filter disappears. It would be so nice to be able to save filters and be able to use them whenever we want.
5. Flashback Button
The main issue with Snapchat that we can all relate to is not remembering what we or the person we were talking to just said. Especially if you talk to multiple people at the same time, it becomes extremely difficult to attempt to remember each conversation. Some type of button that would allow you to see the last few snaps or messages would be extremely helpful.
