This post is specially created on How to Hide Snapchat Discover section to help our readers with the new updates. Snapchat one of the hottest social networking app on
the planet at the moment is making users freaking out over a new updates. Snapchat
is taking some drastic steps to make sure you know about Discover, the special section where chosen media partners
(and Snapchat itself) post content for the app's millions of users. Snapchat on
July 13,2015 updated its app with a redesigned Discover and Live Stories screen
that sandwiches a very prominent shortcut to Discover partners right on top of
the stories page.
Snapchat is trying hard to justify the $19 billion
value being slapped on the company by private investors. In order to promote the
Discover section, and get more hits for its media partners, Snapchat has made
this drastic change and moved Discover to the top of the Stories section. Previously,
Snapchatters would have had to click on a separate page in order to access the
Discover content.
Depending on how you feel about Discover, the change
could be somewhat annoying. The old Discover section is still around, so it's
now in two places — with no way for users to toggle off the new (smarter) placement.
It very much feels like Snapchat is trying to force this on users.
Snapchat Updates Receives Negative Feedback
Since its update, the app has received nearly 67,000
one-star reviews in Apple's App Store, criticizing the decision to place
Discover and live events above other people's individual snap stories. The
feedback is so negative that Snapchat's average review rating in the App Store
has dropped from two-in-a-half to one-in-a-half stars. And the last couple of updates don't seem to
be making things better for the Snapchat team.

page and various forums the latest Snapchat update delivers more than just a
new look, the app drains the battery life for many iPhone and Android phone
users. There are also complaints about about data usage and and memory
consumption.
