Snapchat this week announced a slew of updates at the Snap Partner Summit, chief among them an overhaul of its Story editing software in the form of new standalone app Story Studio.
Snapchat is embracing its evolution from a once key player in social media messaging to mobile’s chief creative hub.
During its annual partnership summit this week, Snapchat announced a new project to conclude a year of what seems like endless updates – and this, potentially, could be the biggest of the lot.
Having released Voisey and Spotlight earlier in the year in an attempt to snag a portion of TikTok’s enormous userbase, Snapchat is now set to release a standalone app called Story Studio for iOS.
With Snapchat recognising around 75% of its young community has persisted with the platform to make use of the creative toolset it offers, developers are striving to deliver the biggest and best editing software available on social media. It goes without saying, that’s no small feat.

To Snapchat’s credit, it does sound mighty impressive.
Story Studio is said to offer live insights of what’s trending on Snapchat – including specifics like popular lenses, sounds, and topics – allowing users to capitalise on the biggest trends.
From here creators can trim their shots with frame precise editing, adding AR filters, stickers, and other visual elements along the way.
