Snapchat Launches Event-Planning Tool to Compete with Partiful
· Technology · TechCrunch, Engadget
Snapchat has introduced Snapchat Plans, a new suite of features for creating, sharing, and managing real-world events with friends. Users can send invitations, track attendees, and manage event details, all within the app. This move directly targets Partiful, a popular event-planning platform, as Snapchat aims to cater to Gen Z’s preference for dedicated apps over group chats. Snapchat Plans allows up to 200 attendees, RSVP options, and a My Plans section for easy event management. The feature also integrates with Apple’s Invites app, further expanding its functionality.
Why it matters
Snapchat’s new feature could disrupt the event-planning market, offering a seamless experience for younger users who prioritize convenience and integration with social media. It also positions Snapchat as a versatile platform beyond messaging, potentially increasing user engagement and retention.
