Facebook, Twitter and Snap said or implied that the disappointing user numbers were the result of intentional decisions to improve their digital hangouts.

Evan Spiegel, Snap Inc’s co-founder and chief executive, has consistently said that Snapchat is a place for deep interactions with a small number of close contacts.
