In truth, it's but Facebook sacrificing the sanctity of their icon inwards the scream of maintaining their increment rate. They couldn't attention less close whether or non people recollect they're rip-off artists if it agency they tin hold pulling inwards to a greater extent than users, particularly immature ones.
It's working, too. Even WhatsApp's 'Status' feature, the to the lowest degree accessible of Facebook's 4 (four!?) clones of Stories but reached 175 i one one thousand thousand daily active users. That's to a greater extent than than Snapchat has amount stop. Meanwhile, Instagram Stories too Messenger Day move along to balloon inwards popularity, leaving exclusively the native Facebook version equally the anomalous failed experiment. The Snapchat crew must hold upwards pretty depressed close this.
In fact, Evan Spiegel of late gave his staff a motivational talk, inwards which he told them to focus on i really of import thing, which farther studies bring instantly backed upwards - Facebook are beating them on numbers, but they are beating Facebook inwards engagement.
According to this novel report, released past times App Annie, it goes farther than that. In the US, unopen to 35% of Snapchat's users don't role Facebook on a daily basis. That's but the tip of the iceberg though. 58% of Snapchat users who role Messenger don't role it on whatever given solar daytime too 93% of them don't role WhatsApp every day.

Knowing that 2 thirds of Facebook's monthly active users are daily visitors isn't equally valuable to advertisers equally knowing that too then many of Snapchat's users favour the app inwards a higher house all the others. It shows them that Snapchat are offering them something they can't larn anywhere else, regardless of how much of their content Facebook glue into their platforms.
Snapchat's biggest occupation is their disputation inwards the stock market, which can't hold upwards remedied past times user engagement, exclusively user growth. While increment is far to a greater extent than hard to maintain, Snap bring been developing the app imaginatively too consistently for years instantly too bring showed no signs of slowing downward since the IPO launch a few months ago. This battle isn't lost yet.
