November 29-30 | New York City Register → This newsletter is a weekly update on all things related to the Future of Media from the IGNITION 2017 team. We welcome your comments and feedback. How Snapchat can survive Instagram's assault For the better part of the past year, Instagram has been replicating Snapchat's features. The Facebook-owned photo-sharing app began by unveiling its own "Stories" feature at the top of the app. Users have responded well to that update, as the number of daily story users on Instagram surpassed those of Snapchat's story feature in April. That was just the beginning, but Instagram has not fully captured all of Snapchat's magic. There does seem to be one feature that is extremely popular with teens that Instagram has not yet brought to its platform: the Snapstreak. The Snapstreak is a number that lets users know how many consecutive days they've sent a snap to a specific friend. Last year at IGNITION, Business Insider hosted a panel of teens considered to be trendsetters. Among the topics discussed: how they interact with their phones and the apps they use most sparked the best conversations. Given the great change that's taken place in the six months since last year's conference, it will surely be a topic discussed again at IGNITION 2017. Business Insider's Dan Jason has the full story.
