PICS: Snapchat’s official story for Dublin is just what you expected

A taste of Dublin

Joe Harrington

People have been adding their snaps over the last 24 hours.

Every so often Snapchat allows its users to create a story for their city. The way it works is that for 24 hours every time you send a Snapchat, you have an option to submit it to the City Story.

The best ones are packaged together and people all over the world can see what’s happening in the chosen city over the 24 hour period. A cool idea, right.

Dublin was the chosen city yesterday but the story published on the app today is a bit patronising overall to be honest.

It does feature a few snaps from our Sunday Sessions Live gig last night (*approve*), but in general we reckon it doesn’t show off Dublin for the buzzing and cultural place it is, not even close.

We screen-grabbed the story, look at it here:
