Snapchat’s ‘disruptive’ redesign will make app easier to understand.

The social media app is facing a huge overhaul.

Snapchat is set for a major redesign, which the app creators admit will be ‘disruptive’ for long-term users.

The social media app unveiled plans for a design overhaul following a difficult financial report, claiming that Snapchat’s unintuitive design is stopping new users from getting on board.

The app helped pioneer features including posts that disappear after a period of time, ‘stories’, and augmented reality filters.

Most of these functions are now also found on other rival apps like Instagram and Facebook.
