Itâs been a tough year on friendships, especially with social and physical distancing.
According to data from Snapâs annual 2020 Friendship Report (read report HERE), a global study interviewing 30,000 people across sixteen countries:
â Pre-Covid, many reported feeling lonely at times (21%). But since Covid, more Malaysians have felt lonely (31%) – a rise of 10%. When asked to think about the effects of Covid on their friendships, nearly half of those surveyed agreed with the statement that they âfelt more distant from friends because they couldnât spend time in-personâ (46%).
â A third of the people Snap surveyed said that COVID-19 has affected their friendships (35%). With 54% saying that it has led to them not feeling as close to their friends.
To help bridge the gap, Snapchat is introducing a few new features to help kickstart rich, meaningful conversations about your friendships, as written in the stars.
Snapchat has launched two brand new Astrological features within Snapchat â offering a new and interesting way to learn, share and strike up conversations about your bond with your friends, and potentially deepen your relationships â going far beyond what you see in a daily horoscope. Itâs all personal to you and your best friends.
