Snapchat has released the first details of a radical redesign aimed at helping users see more content from their friends – and less from people they don’t like all that much. The new app will be released to selected users in the coming days, before rolling out to everyone within a few weeks. In a blog published today, Snapchat said the update was designed to separate content produced by friends and professionals. ‘Until now, social media has always mixed photos and videos from your friends with content from publishers and creators,’ it wrote. ‘While blurring the lines between professional content creators and your friends has been an interesting Internet experiment, it has also produced some strange side-effects (such as fake news) and made us feel like we have to perform for our friends rather than just express ourselves.’
