Snap chat is seriously considering giving up its main advantages to making "public stories" permanent

Snap, the owner of the popular messaging service SnapChat, is considering a change that no one would ever have thought of, the "sniper" publications, Reuters reported Tuesday.

Snape Chat is a service that allows users to publish temporary photos and videos that disappear after a specified period of time. This feature has been a great success over the past years, making great services such as Facebook, Instagram, Yahoo!, YouTube and many other services .

After offering the most prominent features of Snap Chat in other services that already have a large user base than Snape users, Snape started a serious decline, which seems to have made the company seriously considering radical changes in its mechanism after previous attempts to change Interface design to maintain existing users as well as attract new users.

Now Snape is considering making publications permanent, and it is also considering an option to reveal the identities of Snape users who publish public publications, Reuters reported, quoting informed sources.

The company believes that these changes will together represent a major step in its efforts to attract and retain users by making content generally shared through our "Our Story" section, which is more available outside Snape Chat. The changes could also create a new source of revenue for the company, which suffered large losses, led to a shrinking of the user base and the disposal of executives who were working for them.

Such changes to Snape Chat, launched in 2011 and highly successful among teenagers and the new millennium generation, are thought to provoke violent reactions from users who cherish their privacy, especially as rival Facebook has suffered in recent months from scandals On how it handles user data.

Reuters quoted one source as saying that Snape was carefully considering privacy, technical and legal considerations to reveal user identities in public posts. The new change will only affect the content of your photos and videos on our "Our Story" section, where publishers share a wider audience of Snape users, not just friends of the user, and users will still have the option to delete those stories.

SNAP has previously attempted to extend the validity of public publications, but making them longer than before or disclosing more information to users who create them will be an additional departure from the features of the feature.

Reuters sources said the changes would come in response to responses from Snape's partnerships with news discovery platforms that help media companies identify, analyze and publish public breaking news on Snape Chat. News partnerships are part of the Snap's Stories Everywhere initiative launched last year to drive content to more places outside Snape Chat.

Snape Chat's "public stories" were initially deleted after 30 days, but are now viewable for 90 days, according to Snape's Web site. But some SNAP partners said the temporary and anonymous nature of public stories made it difficult for them to work with them, the sources told Reuters.

With the current situation, some news organizations will not include Snape Chat stories in articles because the content will eventually disappear, while others do not like their use because they can not verify the credibility of Snape Chat stories published by anonymous users.

"Snape is already talking to one partner about making public posts last longer and planning to make some celebrity content," Reuters quoted a source familiar with the news partnerships as saying.
