So far this year, Snap’s stock has recovered and the company says it’s “cautiously optimistic” the days of losing users are over. The stock fell lower and lower and lower. Daily active user numbers declined for the first time ever. Celebrity users Kylie Jenner and Chrissy Teigen publicly complained about the changes. That proved to be an understatement.Ī petition calling to remove the new update amassed more than 1.2 million signatures. Spiegel said at the time that the move could be “disruptive” to Snap’s business.

Snap's constant innovation wouldn't be possible without the companies it acquired overtime which helped it to launch new features in the areas of augmented reality, e-commerce, communication and more. In 2016, Spiegel renamed the organization Snap and rebranded as a “ camera company.” Snap went public in March 2017 at a valuation of $33 billion. Later, Google also tried to purchase the company for $4 billion. Snapchat's rapid growth caught the attention of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, who attempted to acquire the company for $3 billion. The organization relocated to Venice, California and by 2013 it had a valuation of $800 million. By 2012 Snapchat had already scaled rapidly, prompting Spiegel to drop out of Stanford credits shy of graduating to take over the business full time. Later that same year, the app’s name changed to Snapchat. In 2011 the social media company widely known for its disappearing photos and videos launched under the name Picaboo. Snap is the umbrella company under which all of Spiegel’s acquired organizations sit.
