How To Get Rid Of Snapchat Discover Feature On Android App

Recently Snapchat has received plethora of updates. It look like the developers are working hard to add more features to the app but these features are not always welcomed by the users. Called as a new feature, the latest update of Snapchat brings a new option named as Discover. There you will see  stories from other popular media online like CNN, Cosmopolitan, Daily Mail, People, Yahoo, Food Network and many others.

The app was first introduced few months ago and it has a dedicated page in the app. To see all these stories you had to swipe one time in the right for friends stories and swipe again to view the featured stories from the popular media worldwide. In the beginning it wasn’t much annoying but the next update made it very nasty. So even though these stories has their own page inside the apps, they will appear also on the main page.

So you have to see all these stories on the main page along side with the friends stories and live stories. Lot of Snapchat users are complaining about this and even they have asked for a way to disable or if possible to remove that option completely.
