After just lately buying pupil planning app Saturn, Snapchat is now transferring to combine Saturn standing information immediately into Snap profiles, which provides you with extra methods to attach with Snap buddies, and sustain with what they’re as much as at any given time.
As you may see in these instance screens, Saturn is primarily targeted on making it simpler for college kids to remain on monitor with their college commitments, however that additionally expands to sharing your calendar with buddies, and even chatting and becoming a member of occasions in-app.
And shortly, that information can even be accessible in your Snapchat profile as properly.
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 enables you to share your schedule with buddies to allow them to see what you’re as much as in actual time within the Snapchat app.”
You possibly can join your Saturn account from both the Snap or Saturn apps, by way of an automatic connection course of linking the 2. You possibly can then handle your Saturn connection from throughout the “Companion Connections” ingredient 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 good friend on Saturn has related their Saturn and Snapchat accounts, tapping the yellow ‘Chat’ button in a good friend’s profile within the Saturn app will open the Snapchat app. When you’re buddies on Snapchat, tapping the button will open within the chat dialog with that good friend. When you’re not buddies on Snapchat, it should open to their Friendship Profile.”
So it looks like Saturn will stay purposeful as a separate entity, for now no less than, 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 can even invite their Snap buddies to sign-up for Saturn by way of Snap.
It’s an fascinating 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 accessible within the app, however presumably, it’s coming very quickly.
