provided the first glimpse of the potential new feature following an APK teardown of Snapchat's beta version 12.75.0.34.
This method allows developers to anticipate future features by analyzing an app's code.
While there's no guarantee that features from the beta phase will make it into the final release, the code snippets found provide exciting hints of what could be coming.
By the way, Snapchat recently laid off around 10% of its workforce.
How do Tiny Snaps work?
Tiny Snaps could introduce a new dimension of interactivity to chatting.
Users have the option to click on the camera icon while chatting and take a Tiny Snap.
This suggests that the snap is created the moment the user types.
However, it remains unclear whether the Tiny Snap will be sent together with the finished message or not.
The primary idea behind Tiny Snaps seems to be to capture users' spontaneous reactions at the moment of typing.
This would bring a whole new level of personality and interactivity to communication on the platform.
Potential for user engagement
By introducing Tiny Snaps, Snapchat could fundamentally change the way users interact with each other.
By allowing users to share their reactions and emotions in real time, Snapchat could make communication even more personal and engaging.
This feature would not only strengthen users' loyalty to the platform, but also offer new opportunities for creative and spontaneous expression.
A few weeks ago, Snap Inc. announced that it would combine Spotlight and Stories on Snapchat to fuel the platform's growth.
