Snapchat has a lot of good AR features and yet they're still not as famous as other social media apps.

I wanna use it but non of my friends use it.

The Snapchat app is a disaster. Just garbage icons everywhere. Such a pain to use. I started trying to use it specifically because of the AR stuff. Too many times unexpected things are happening when I tap icons I think I understand the meaning of. You're right, though. Their snap filters are pretty amazing.

Okay, and their cardinal sin is putting the back button on the right side of the screen as an arrow pointing right. That goes against every UX convention ever.

But yeah, the AR and AI they do is top of the line, and has been for years.

It's a very popular app but no doubt does the same data harvesting.

Snapchat was much more popular than Instagram.

The app is a mess tho. Usability is pure shit

SnapChat is still lagging behind other apps on implementing proper end to end encryption.
