I installed this app to keep up with a few people that live hours away. All was fine until recently when I started receiving notifications every five minutes. It's usually for people I don't follow and couldn't care less about seeing their content. And if I delete the notifications the same ones pop right back up in seconds. It's intrusive and annoying!!!

I like sending snaps to my friends, but this app tries to be a place for content, too, and it's terrible at that. Any content you want to watch is interrupted with an advertisement every 5 seconds, and the content itself is usually click-bait Adding songs to my snaps can be annoying because the app won't let me use certain parts of the song if the song is even on here. I also hate getting advertisements sent to me in my chat from different companies. I don't like that I can't get rid of MyAI

Over the course of the last year or so, snapchat has become more and more unfriendly to users who don't use their premium services. I don't mind having ads on extracurricular content that is distributed on snapchat, but ads on the app have become more and more invasive. Ads jump into spots where my most frequent chats are on the home screen. A garbage "AI" chatbot is forced to the top of my chat logs and there is no way to move it somewhere else, and I keep getting notifications I've turned off.
