After user backlash, Snapchat kills simplified redesign

After seven months of testing, Snap has scrapped its three-tab Snapchat. Snap announced the decision in its Q1 2025 financial announcement, which also showed revenue growth and highlighted AI-powered innovations.

Users Reject Snapchat Minimalist
Snapchat’s revamp focused on chat, the camera, and Spotlight instead of Snap Map and Stories. However, Snap Founder Evan Spiegel said the streamlined version failed to attract core customers. The trial deleted Stories and Snap Map, which power users depended on, making adaptation difficult.

Spiegel said Snap learnt from the experiment, but the revamp made the app tougher to use. “We struggled with power users adopting the three-tab layout,” Spiegel said investors. Snap is changing its layout.

Return of Five-Tab Interface
In lieu of simplifying, Snap is exploring a “refined five-tab connect.” This redesign keeps all tabs open and boosts Snapchat’s TikTok-like Spotlight. Snap’s shareholder letter says the new layout keeps tile-based discovery and restores the Map tab.

Snap said that US My AI use increased by over 55% year-over-year and promised further AI-powered services and augmented reality advancements for 2025.

Daily Users Fall in the US and Canada, But Global Expansion Continues
Snap attracted 38 million users internationally year-over-year, while it lost 1 million in North America in Q1, lowering regional DAUs to 99 million. With 460 million DAUs worldwide, the platform has over nine hundred million active users every month.

Due to Snapchat+ membership growth and advertising solutions, Q1 2025 revenue rose 14% to $1.36 billion.

Benefits and Tips for Ladies Strength Training

In the past, the exercise room was primarily for guys. Thank goodness that’s changing rapidly. More women are choosing free weights over exercise machines to feel more powerful stand higher, and take care of their health. I’ve seen this transition as a fitness teacher and Squat Up co-founder, and it’s empowering.

Strength training is about creating a physique that supports you, not a body type. Women benefit from improved posture, stronger bones, stable joints, and metabolism. It means carrying groceries easily, walking with lower back discomfort, and feeling more centered in your body.

“I do not wish to look bulky.” is a common misconception. However, women don’t create enough testosterone to grow huge muscle like males. Most women want a toned, sculpted body, and weightlifting builds lean muscle.

Over and beyond the physical advantages, weightlifting boosts confidence. It’s empowering to take up the weights and realize, “I am capable of this.” Whether it’s establishing limits, pursuing objectives, or walking taller, gym strength transfers to life.

 

Another overlooked win: posture. Hours spent at workstations or on phones cause round shoulders and low back pain in many women. Body awareness, postural alignment, and pain reduction are improved by strength training, particularly back, core, & glute exercises.

Also, longevity. Muscle and bone mass normally decline with age, particularly post-menopause. It’s one of the best long-term health investments to strength train regularly to preserve muscle, build bones, and avoid injuries.

Squat Up encourages women of any age to weightlift confidently. Not everyone needs to lift heavy weights or prepare like an athlete. Just start. Every rep—with dumbbells, bands of resistance, or your bodyweight—builds inner and outer strength.

Strength is an attitude in 2025, not simply fitness. Finally, women worldwide are lifting seriously.
