How Does Snapchat Decide What to Feature on the Spotlight Tab?
Have you ever wondered how Snapchat decides what content to feature on the Spotlight Tab? The company states that they consider individual preference when choosing content. This means that each person who uses Snapchat will see different content on the Spotlight Tab, based on what Snapchat thinks they will find entertaining.
Of course, not all of the content on Snapchat is suitable for everyone. That's why there are moderators who help ensure that only appropriate and entertaining content is featured. However, even with moderators, some inappropriate content may still slip through. So if you see something on Snapchat that you don't like or that makes you feel uncomfortable, you can always report it.
Overall, the goal of the Spotlight Tab is to provide users with a curated selection of entertaining content. Whether you're looking for a laugh or just want to be entertained, make sure to check out the Spotlight Tab next time you're on Snapchat!
