Snap is launching a new mobile app feature called Snapchat Plans. While it may sound like a new subscription service, Plans is actually a set of features that encourages hanging out in person.
“IRL meet-ups often start from a simple spark of conversation: A message turns into an idea, an idea turns into a plan, and time spent together becomes a memory,” Snap says.
“That’s why today we are introducing Snapchat Plans, a new suite of features that gives Snapchatters a new way to create, share, and manage their real-world plans with friends, all in one place.”
Snap highlights three current features, and one more coming soon, around Snapchat Plans:
The company explains how creating Snapchat Plans works in the app:
Snapchatters can add a title, choose a date and time, invite up to 200 friends, and personalize their event with dynamic Bitmoji-powered cover art that automatically updates as the plan comes together. Invitations are then delivered directly within a one-on-one chat with each invited friend, where guests can quickly RSVP with Going, Maybe, or Can’t Go without interrupting the conversation.
Importantly, Snap says that Snapchat Plans are both private and invite-only, so everything stays between friends. You can learn much more from Snap’s announcement post here.
Earlier this summer, Snap added a new Now Playing map feature to Snapchat.
