Yesterday, Snapchat released a new feature for app developers to allow users to share Snapchat Stories on their platforms, according to TechCrunch. With the feature, Snapchat users can now share Stories posts directly from Snapchat to participating Stories-enabled apps. At launch, four apps: Triller, Squad, Hily, and Octi have the feature enabled. Each app uses Stories a bit differently: For example, the music video app Triller will allow its users to view Stories from friends and artists they follow, while video chat app Squad lets users watch Stories together during group calls. Snap expects more apps to adopt App Stories over the next year with partners like Houseparty and Tinder, who were originally teased when the feature was first announced last year, likely to follow suit soon.

Consequently, Twitter's decline announcement was taken as an official warning to the rest of the industry about how quickly things have deteriorated with the pandemic.
