Long time coming. Too bad it's limited to 16 friends or I'd suggest we try to fit the whole Product Hunt community in a single group. On second thought, this is probably for the best. 😁

@rrhoover if friends > 16: story

I'm super curious to see how this effects my group chats on WhatsApp, Slack, iMessage, gmail,

@kevando_ I don't know about you but I hate when my friends use Snap to message me.

@dandigangi Hate is a strong word, comrade.
Dan DiGangi
@kevando_ Haha, I know. I'd just prefer iMessage or Slack.

@kevando_ hopefully if they want to take off as a chat platform, they'll focus on their apps battery drain and continuing fixing android app.
Dan DiGangi
@scotty_mcq @kevando_ How is the Android app?

Poor house party team. First they get killed by Periscope and now this.

@kevando_ Isn't this always the case when a startup builds something that a behemoth can easily integrate into their existing ecosystem? It really should be a major question when you're pitching an idea like that.

@kevando_ Also there is Gobi: https://gobiapp.com (Send snaps in groups)

@kevando_ i don't see this as an alternative to house party at all

This is why I've been more interested in Instagram's Snap features. Sending out individual snaps is so annoying compared to Insta where it hits your entire follower base.

@dandigangi So, Snapchat Stories?
Dan DiGangi
@jensen2k Don't find myself habitually going to SnapChat Stories to check up on my friends. Instagram puts the feed right in your face and still uses the horizontal bottom navigation to make it easy.

@dandigangi I see what you mean. I do think that's something Instagram had to do to force the feature a bit. I'm checking Stories multiple times a day, so I guess it boils down to habit and what your network are doing. For Instagram, I might not even check those things when looking at my feed
Dan DiGangi
@jensen2k I'd say Snap does a better job at helping me find my friends stories but that could be because I follow an obscene amount of Instagram accounts. Different networks, different uses, etc.
Flowsion
@dandigangi @jensen2k Definitely what Dan said. I don't view most of the stories on Instagram but I view everyone I want to on Snapchat bc of how easy it is.

Been waiting on this for years. Too bad groups delete in 24h -_-

will group snaps count toward streaks?

Finally! I love this feature: "When your friends are present in a Group Chat, we show their name at the bottom of the Chat. Simply tap their name to start a 1:1 Chat, and then easily return to the Group in one swipe! We call this Quick Chat, and it’s the fastest way to keep the conversation going with one friend without spamming the entire Group." Let's group chat: http://snapchat.com/add/jackdweck 👻

@jackdweck it's nothing new, I must say.

Wow just after Houseparty closes on 50MM this happens. Thats some tough luck.

@willjamieson93 won't affect since different audience and some parents still won't allow their teens to use due to the sex content of far too many. At least twice a week I get added by some porn person saying "let's *%:"
Shaan Puri
@delwilliams @willjamieson93 lol what? the majority of teens already are on snapchat
Shaan Puri
@willjamieson93 does the update let you do group video for 16 people?
Will Jamieson

@shaanvp Not at the moment but I imagine its coming. I am assuming they are going to evolve the features in group chat similarly to how they evolved the 1:1 chats

The built in Shazam song finding is interesting.
