Prasad is absolutely right on this one. Why doesn't Snap Inc do something about Instagram's blatant rip-off?

Well Mark did try to work with them by buying Snapchat ..but Evan Spiegel refused, so it was only a matter of time before Mark made his point clear.
For Windows 10 Mobile users, this is actually the best news ever because now these features are available for the users, Evan Spiegel shunned just for his mere dislike of Microsoft.
It's a dog eat dog world and at least Mark did extend an arm before putting his foot down.

Even if snapchat CEO insulted us and called our country poor (even if it's kinda true), I couldn't help but feel bad for snap. They don't do jack against a behemoth that is facebook.

It's been here since 2001 right? The point is, it doesn't matter who made it first, Snapchat was the one who popularised it, and BECAUSE it is now popular, Instagram feels compelled to make sure they have the latest and greatest on their own platform as well. Yeah, its a good business strategy, but you can't deny that it is very sloppy on Instagram's part to just outright copy popular Snapchat features (Don't forget about Instagram and Snapchat Stories).
I personally agree with the author that it is a disgusting strategy for Instagram to just try to shutdown Snapchat so severely even when Snapchat is just starting to gain traction in the social media business, which to be frank is still dominated by Facebook anyway.
Also, talking about ripoffs, tell me, where else have you found a social media that is anywhere near like Snapchat when it first came out? No chats, no filters, JUST Snapchat Stories and its normal 10 Second snap messages. Sure, A total ripoff indeed

I don't understand why people keep saying things without knowing the fact... Dude if we are talking about ripping-off the first guilty should be Snapchat.... Instagram is the best social media at this moment and they're just trying to keep being the best through the time.

Even Egg does way better filters than snapchat. W32 software has done it for ages. Silly to call something a rip off. Should no other company but the first be allowed to have a phone to sell?

What did Instagram "ripped-off" from Snapchat? Those face filters exists in webcam softwares since 2001. If someone ripped-off something from someone, let's start talking about Snapchat.

I like Instagram for what it is, a quality image and after all life sharing place without the shared shit from Facebook...I never liked the one day posts of Snapchat and certainly won't use this clones either (but the face filters are cool, for normal Instagram posts).

Facebook owns Instagram. How about we get some information not rants. Facebook is doing this because they can.
