Facebook has been copying Snapchat for a long time and it looks like Snapchat is unable to do anything about it. Snapchat has recently released some new features regarding SnapMaps after a major redesign that company introduced earlier this month, Snapchat has also started presenting GIF stickers feature with the help of Giphy’s collection, the feature that looks like a copied version of Facebook-owned Instagram, while Facebook continues its “streak” to copy Snapchat and introduced the Snapchat’s streak feature in its Messenger as well.
The war between Snapchat and Facebook is nothing new, and it will go on since both the tech giants keep copying each other whenever a new feature comes on the market. Snapchat was the pioneer company that introduced the concept of sharing your pictures live, capturing the moments in real time.
