INSTAGRAM

Some of us have to seriously rank Instagram over Facebook. There are over two billion monthly users on the social networking platform, and that is a lot of spots that are worth trying out new things. With that being said, after a recent review of my stats with Instagram and Facebook, and after researching and trying out some short stories, I have come to realize that the platform Snapchat has much more of a better experience for getting the most out of you.

When you first become online, Instagram is going to look very new, fresh, and appealing to you. Sure, you can see your pictures through the website and all over the world but with Snapchat, you have something special. No, Snapchat doesn’t have some cool new filters but it does have a better user experience in these ways:

Snapchat isn’t quite that hip and unique now like Instagram. Snapchat is very generic. The only cool feature they have is that they are making Snapchat messages appear on your friends’ posts, and on their stories too. This makes the whole experience much more personalized. This is very important, especially with messaging as there are so many people with relationships around that work with more than just one another.

If you see a friend using Snapchat Stories, you can instantly jump into their story by tapping “LOOK UP.” Now, you’re going to want to explore their history to learn more about them and then you will also have something to share with them, so you’ll create some links for them to see it. Snapchat stories are also more streamlined as you can get 10 snaps in every snap. That’s way more than you can have with Instagram.

Besides having a better user experience, Snapchat has a simple algorithm and a giant community. This community is essentially around you and your habits. It’s a social network for all kinds of human beings. Your community has a way of tracking your habits, and we all get unique vibes just about every time you join. With Snapchat, you’re going to see where you have reached the most results, and therefore where you should be going next. If you’re on the go and you are drinking something, and you’re reading on Snapchat, you’ll probably get more inspiration than you would with Instagram! You never have to leave Snapchat to reach up in an image and tap a “Snap.” If you’re on the go and don’t have anything interesting to read in your feed, you might look and find someone that you can follow.

Snapchat is currently owned by Snap Inc., which is a media company and data analysis tool that has a younger audience than Instagram. Instagram is also owned by Snap Inc., but like Snapchat, this does not necessarily mean Snapchat is the hottest new thing or the most popular of the new trends. Instagram is right in the exact same way that Instagram is right now. Instagram has only a few prime features over Snapchat, and one of them is being able to send pictures to a friend that you don’t follow. This trick is the best way to see who your friends are, and what they’re up to at all times. You also never have to post your life to Instagram. These features, by the other likes of Snapchat make Snapchat much more convenient for the millennials.

Snapchat is the old competitor of Instagram. With Snapchat, the interface changes every single night of the week, meaning you don’t have to save your face to post pictures or say your comments. You can post anything you want, anytime you want. This happens all around your pictures. The main unique feature that Snapchat has is that you have not only seen with Snapchat, but also with Instagram, and that is the location tagging that takes the trash out of the personalized commenting or picture reply system that works out there for you to picture your friends. You don’t need to have Snapchat to show your friends pictures of you, as they do it now for you through the real regular Instagram. They have a lot more options for you to show you selfies of friends as well as pictures of friends around, but you’re not included in their responses in your reactions. That’s a highly personalized and very useful way to find out who you just exchanged a few messages with. Instagram is also more fun than Snapchat!

Snapchat is much more interactive than Instagram. Unlike Instagram, you can see how a picture is received. Everyone has likes, dislikes, dislikes, secrets, opinions, and everything. You can tell who received your picture by a twist on a frame that is revealed upon being tapped. This gives a person you know a conversation starter, as they’ll be able to see who just saw their picture, and yes, it’s rude if you sent an embarrassing picture of yourself. It makes you happy to know who has seen your picture, so you don’
