Snapchat launches ‘Friendship Profiles’ feature

Snap
Inc.

• Snapchat
  is adding a feature called “Friendship Profiles,” which creates
  landing pages of your interaction histories with each of your
  Snapchat friends.
• You can access these profiles by tapping on a friend’s
  Bitmoji, where you’ll find any content you’ve ever saved in a
  chat with a friend.
• The feature will be rolling out to users “slowly over the
  coming weeks,” along with other features that are designed to
  highlight your relationships on Snapchat.

Snapchat is rolling out a new feature that will give users
one-stop snapshots of each of their relationships with friends on
the app, the company
announced Tuesday.

These “Friendship Profiles” will include a full history of any
photos, messages, and other content that you’ve saved in a chat
with a Snapchat friend or a group. The feature is designed to
create private unique home bases for each of your relationships,
while “highlighting the special moments you’ve shared,” Snap
says.

Each Friendship Profile will only be visible to you and the
person or group that you’re friends with on Snapchat — the
profiles won’t be public. If you’ve chosen to share your location
with Snapchat, the profiles will show your Snap Map location to
your friends. 

The company will also be rolling out other features that are
designed to highlight your relationships on Snapchat, like
Bitmoji merchandise and Bitmoji Stories, which is a comic strip
made out of you and your friends’ Bitmojis. 

To access Friendship Profiles on Snapchat, tap on a friend’s
Bitmoji icon in your friend list. The feature launched on
Tuesday, but it will be rolling out to users “slowly over the
coming weeks,” Snap says.
