After not too long ago buying scholar planning app Saturn, Snapchat is now transferring to combine Saturn standing data straight into Snap profiles, which offers you extra methods to attach with Snap buddies, and sustain with what they’re as much as at any given time.
As you possibly can see in these instance screens, Saturn is primarily targeted on making it simpler for college students to remain on monitor with their faculty 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 data may also be out there in your Snapchat profile as properly.
In Snapchat’s Assist Heart, it’s added a brand 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 buddies to allow them to see what you’re as much as in actual time within the Snapchat app.”
You’ll be able to join your Saturn account from both the Snap or Saturn apps, through an automatic connection course of linking the 2. You’ll be able to then handle your Saturn connection from throughout the “Accomplice Connections” component of your Snapchat Settings.
As soon as related your Saturn calendar standing can 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 buddies on Snapchat, tapping the button will open within the chat dialog with that pal. If you happen to’re not buddies on Snapchat, it should open to their Friendship Profile.”
So it looks as if Saturn will stay purposeful as a separate entity, for now not less than, with Snap trying to higher align the 2 to maximise its personal connection alternatives.
I imply, it looks as if, ultimately, Snap will simply merge the 2, and the separate Saturn app will disappear. However for now, Snap’s going to take care of each, whereas Snapchat customers may also invite their Snap buddies to sign-up for Saturn through 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 can be made out there within the app, however presumably, it’s coming very quickly.
