Snapchat just launched a massive redesign to get people to read more stories

Snapchat's long-awaited redesign is finally here, and it's all about putting stories front and center. 

On Tuesday, the company is changing its Discover section so that there's no difference between the publishers in its app, like Mashable or Tastemade, or the live stories that it curates from around the globe.

All stories now scroll across the top of a user's story page tiles, complete with a headline and image. The same theme carries over to inside the Discover section, where the new image tiles make it feel more like a Pinterest or Instagram clone than it's looked like in the past.

Previously, the only way to distinguish between publications was their logos. Now, it's all about the story itself — the images and headlines combined.
