There was no share button or feature that made this straightforward and simple. Instead, you would have to open the video on your smartphone and copy and paste the link to your loved one. This tedious task meant that people would simply use another platform to share their favorite videos.
Of course, like any other good company, Snapchat listened to its users. They wanted to know how they could improve the app experience and make sure their users were still having fun with it.
