In more lighthearted fare, Snapchat confirms it’s starting to roll out new text styles just a week after Instagram added its new “Type Mode” with modern, signature, typewriter and billboard fonts. It also could offer a “notify anyway” option that tells the sender you’re busy, but that they can message again to bypass the Do Not Disturb barrier. The next step for Snap would be allowing users to select how long they want to mute someone rather than it being indefinite. In fact, Do Not Disturb was championed by Tristan Harris, leader of the Time Well Spent movement who today launched the Center For Humane Technology that will fund anti-tech addiction research, education and lobbying. Facebook Messenger has had the feature for years. That’s why thread-by-thread do not disturb features are necessary. Muting your phone entirely can produce its own form of stress, as you wonder if you’re missing something important. Protecting our sense of focus and attention is critical if we’re going to stay sane as mobile phones become more central to our lives. That’s especially helpful if a close friend won’t shut up on Snapchat, but it’d be rude to cut them out entirely. By tapping and holding on a person or group, it lets you mute notifications from them so you don’t get constantly alerted but also don’t have to block them or leave the group. Snapchat tells me Do Not Disturb quietly rolled out a few weeks ago. A TechCrunch reader tipped us off with these screenshots. Instagram just added its own special fonts, which threatened to make Snapchat’s text look boring. The new features focus around making Snapchat the most flexible visual messaging app, doubling down on its most popular use case as its Stories stop growing in the face of competition from Facebook’s Instagram and WhatsApp. Meanwhile, the sweeping redesign that’s slowly rolling out comes with ways to jazz up your Snaps with colorful text styles and multiple captions. Snapchat is offering a way to mute specific people without formally blocking them. Snap is waking up to the “Time Well Spent” movement Facebook is already addressing.
