After lately buying scholar planning app Saturn, Snapchat is now transferring to combine Saturn standing information straight into Snap profiles, which will provide you with extra methods to attach with Snap associates, and sustain with what they’re as much as at any given time.
As you’ll be able to see in these instance screens, Saturn is primarily centered on making it simpler for college students to remain on monitor with their college commitments, however that additionally expands to sharing your calendar with associates, and even chatting and becoming a member of occasions in-app.
And shortly, that information will even be obtainable in your Snapchat profile as effectively.
In Snapchat’s Assist Middle, it’s added a new overview of what Saturn is, the way it works, and how one can simply join it to your Snapchat account.
As per Snap:
“Saturn permits you to share your schedule with associates to allow them to see what you’re as much as in actual time within the Snapchat app.”
You may join your Saturn account from both the Snap or Saturn apps, by way of an automatic connection course of linking the 2. You may then handle your Saturn connection from inside the “Associate Connections” component of your Snapchat Settings.
As soon as related your Saturn calendar standing shall be displayed in your Snap profile beneath your show identify.
Snap customers will have the ability to handle their Saturn calendar standing by going from their Snapchat Settings, the place they will additionally management who can see their Saturn Standing.
Additionally, you’ll quickly have the ability to begin a Snapchat chat from Saturn:
“In case your pal on Saturn has related their Saturn and Snapchat accounts, tapping the yellow ‘Chat’ button in a pal’s profile within the Saturn app will open the Snapchat app. If you happen to’re associates on Snapchat, tapping the button will open within the chat dialog with that pal. If you happen to’re not associates on Snapchat, it’s going to open to their Friendship Profile.”
So it looks like Saturn will stay useful as a separate entity, for now at the least, with Snap seeking to higher align the 2 to maximise its personal connection alternatives.
I imply, it looks like, ultimately, Snap will simply merge the 2, and the separate Saturn app will disappear. However for now, Snap’s going to keep up each, whereas Snapchat customers will even invite their Snap associates to sign-up for Saturn by way of Snap.
It’s an attention-grabbing integration, which leans into Snapchat’s core use case in connecting younger individuals, and facilitating relationships.
Snap hasn’t formally introduced when Saturn performance shall be made obtainable within the app, however presumably, it’s coming very quickly.
