Snapped Up

Snap launches enterprise AR tools, FTC attacks cancellation flows, ChatGPT connects to the internet

Happy Thursday! The almighty cancellation flow is officially under attack by the FTC 😱 The proposed 'Click to Cancel' provision requires that "companies make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up". My condolences to my fellow growth PMs out there 😢

🌶 Highlight of the day 🌶

Snap shipped an enterprise Augmented Reality tool that companies can integrate into apps and websites. The "Shopping Suite" SaaS product lets users virtually try-on clothes, view products in 3D, and get size and fit recs based on body shape. Why hello there, camera company 📸 👋
