<p>Snap’s revenue woes continue but earnings yield a few bright spots</p>
<p>Snap just reported its quarterly earnings and it’s a bit of a mixed bag.</p><p>Snapchat’s parent company<a rel="nofollow" href="https://s25.q4cdn.com/442043304/files/doc_financials/2023/q2/Q2-23-Press-Release_FINAL-7-25-23.pdf"> brought in $1.07 billion</a> during Q2 — up from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/27/snap-stock-down-24-on-weak-earnings-ad-revenue-slump/">last quarter</a> but a year-over-year dip. Snap saw its first revenue decline as a public company in Q1, marking a 7% drop in sales from the previous year. At the time, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel said that the shift did not reflect the company’s ambitions.</p><p>While revenue is trending down, Snapchat’s daily active users perked up in Q2, up 14% year-over-year to 397 million.</p><p>Like its peers, Snap is still contending with a decline in advertising revenue stemming from intense competition from rivals like TikTok and Instagram and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/21/snap-q-3-2021-earnings/">changes to Apple’s app privacy policies</a> that threw social media companies for a loop when first introduced.</p><p>To keep its platform fresh and its users engaged, Snapchat introduced <a rel="nofollow" href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/31/snapchat-launches-a-new-generative-ai-feature-my-ai-snaps-for-paid-subscribers/">buzzy new AI features</a> in recent months, with some cordoned off specifically for its paid subscribers. Snap’s AI chatbot My AI is now woven into the app’s group chats, place recommendations and Lens suggestions.</p><p>A year ago, Snapchat introduced <a rel="nofollow" href="https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/29/snapchat-officially-introduces-its-paid-subscription-at-3-99-per-month/">paid subscriptions</a>, charging users $3.99 a month for a collection of premium perks. Snap’s premium service Snapchat+ — a hub for “exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features” — has now collected more than 4 million paid subscribers.</p><p>Paid memberships and premium tiers were once anathema to social media companies hellbent on squeezing every ad dollar out of their users, but that sentiment has shifted in recent years — particularly after Apple’s policy changes limited how closely platforms could track user behavior.</p><div></div><div><blockquote data-secret="yyKjrslXF8"><p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/31/people-keep-gaslighting-snapchat-my-ai/">While parents worry, teens are bullying Snapchat AI</a></p></blockquote><p></p></div>]]></description>
