Snapchat and its App's Legacy
One of the most famous social media applications in the country is still Snapchat, and after several years of having competitors in the market from Big Tech, the company remains on its footing. Not only that, but it is also one to bring the public a premium subscription experience to their usage, Snapchat+ which costs $3.99 monthly and saw 2 million paid users immediately.
The app remains a multimedia platform that users enjoyed since its launch and it opens up more opportunities for the public to enjoy with the expansion of its features. Snapchat previously delivered extensive video editing tools to the public under the so-called "Director Mode" which gives all better features to enhance their uploads and the like.
