It’s been reported by live streaming news network Cheddar that Snap is going to introduce its latest feature enabling the users to share stories beyond the app. As of now, the firm is facing tough competition from Facebook and Instagram. This particular Snapchat Stories Everywhere feature is expected to expand the impact of the app beyond the usual scope of just a core mobile app.
