In the past few years, there has been a surge in the way people interact with each other online. Messaging applications are now more popular than ever, allowing users to communicate with their friends and family with ease. But messaging apps are now also taking it to the next level by introducing features that bridge the gap between users and third-party resources.
Snap, the company behind the popular photo-sharing app Snapchat, is now taking it a step further. They have recently patented a system that allows users to view and access content from third-party resources on their devices while using the messaging application. This system also gives users the added option of exploring related content to the one they have chosen and accessing the third-party resource.
The patent, filed as US20230236707A1, is a continuation of their earlier patent, US17346745. It is a major advancement in the way people interact with third-party resources, as it makes it much easier for users to explore content and access the resources that are related to it.
Snap’s new feature allows users to access these third-party resources without having to leave the messaging app. For example, if a user is watching a movie trailer on the messaging app, they can also access the website of the movie studio that released the movie, all without ever leaving the app.
Snap has also made sure that users can choose to explore related content to the one they are viewing. So, if a user is watching the trailer of a movie, they can also view the trailer of the movie’s sequel, or watch interviews of the cast, or read reviews of the movie – all without ever having to leave the messaging app.
This new feature from Snap is a major breakthrough in the way people interact with third-party resources as it gives users the ability to access and explore a variety of content without having to leave the messaging app. It also allows users to access the third-party resources without having to open a separate browser window.
This new feature is also great for businesses as it allows them to easily reach their customers. For instance, a movie studio could easily promote their new movie by sending out the trailer in a messaging app. Then, users can easily access the movie studio’s website and learn more about the movie.
The patent filed by Snap is a major step forward in the way people interact with third-party resources. It allows users to access and explore content without having to leave the messaging app, as well as access the third-party resources without opening a separate browser window. It also gives businesses an easy way to promote their products and services to their customers. While it is still unclear whether or not this patent will come to the market, Snap’s new feature could be a game-changer in the way people interact with third-party resources.
