Snapchat adds new features after massive backlash from redesign.
Snapchat recently released an update that puts Stories and messages all in one place.
Although Snap’s goal was to make it connecting with friends easier, many have publicly voiced their difficulty navigating the app.

In response, Snapchat is adding new tabs to the Friends and Discover sections to make it easier to find the Stories you want, and new GIF stickers, a tool Instagram released just last month.
