Puerto Rico where she has family there that

Instagram vs Snapchat
Zubieda Sabbagh (2019)
For years there has been a battle in social media Instagram
vs Snapchat. This begun because of an update in Instagram
called Instagram stories. For years Snapchat claimed the
feature to take short videos and pictures to post at anytime.
Then out of nowhere Instagram desires to do the same
thing.
For a while now, Instagram is being used just like
Snapchat, adding pictures, videos, even adding their own
texts and emojis.“Instagram has truly shaded Snapchat,”
said Seija Rankin.
Snapchat came out in November 2012 and instagram came
out in October 2010,but instagram stories came out in
August 2016. Therefore I think that Instagram copied
snapchat.
Snapchat still has the puppy filter category, but most
people just think that will fade always as well.
This is a debate going around all around the country. Who
do you think will win? Instagram or Snapchat? In my
opinion, I think Snapchat will win this battle.
