    The removal of snapping apps?


    Snapping an app used to be simple and very useful. For example, i could listen to my favorite music while playing games. Now, it has been removed (or just moved. if so, where). Why is this? Because to be perfectly. honest, that may have been a solid top
    10 feature of the xbox. But alas, it appears to be no more

    Snap

    Hi there apologies for the late reply!

    The snap feature was removed to make way for other features and allow apps to utilize the new overlay system. There would not be a way to snap apps any longer.

    Snap and App got removed

    blackscorpio17 im totally with you on this when i decided to get a xb1 it was for the features that were at the time sold to me by microsoft,a family entertainment system,hand gestures,snap so we could choose what we wanted to do while gaming etc but over
    time they have removed many of these features now,personally i can not understand this update to me it's pointless still got to come off game to select app if app isn't recent at least old dashboard made more sense and worked better around the idea of a gamers
    needs and snap too 😑

    Snap and App got removed

    They said they did it to improve navigation speed among other things.

    Mike Ybarra, the Corporate VP of Xbox and Windows had this to say on Twitter:

    "We replaced Snap to improve multitasking, reduce memory use, improve overall speed, and free up resources going forward for bigger things."

    I didn't snap anything because when I play games, I don't want anything else cluttering up my view so this news is quite good to me. I can see it sucking for people that used it though.

    1 TV or 2 Movies & TV, errr

    Snapping apps has been removed from the Xbox operating system and will no longer be functional. This is probably permanent.

    Snap An App

    Snap was apparently removed for
    performance reasons    .
    Performance issues? It always worked great. It's the updates that came out for the apps that could be snapped that didn't work. 👎
