Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Snapchat has launched Your 2017 Story to celebrate the end of the year.
The feature stitches together a selection of "Snaps" you’ve saved to your "Memories" folder inside the app throughout 2017.
You can, however, edit it if you like, and save it or share it with your friends.
“Your 2017 Story gives Snapchatters the opportunity to relive some of their favourite, and maybe forgotten moments from 2017 in a personally packaged run through of the year detailing everything from early mornings to late nights, to your travels near or far,” the company says.
“Each Snapchatter’s own 2017 Story will include Snaps that are automatically categorised and strung together to tell a fun, year-end narrative that’s personal to you.”
You can access your own 2017 Story by tapping the Memories button below the Snapchat camera key.
Your 2017 Story will sit at the top of the "All" tab. You can watch, edit, save or share it from here too.
“Each Snapchatter’s 2017 Story will be unique, made up of Snaps selected and curated, and based on a combination of signals such as the location, date or captions associated with each Snap to create a compelling Story, personalized for you,” says Snapchat.
2017 has been a challenging year for the company, which decided to redesign its app in November, in order to make it easier to use.
It also picked up a significant amount of criticism over the launch of Snap Map, a feature that lets you reveal your real-time location to your friends.
