Looks like everyone is after Snapchat. After Facebook-owned Instagram 'copied' several of its features, now Google is likely to launch a competitor to Snapchat's 'Discover' feature, the media reported.

Snapchat 'Discover' was first introduced in January 2015. It is a section of the app that lets news partners distribute video, image and text collections that remain accessible for 24 hours.

Google is developing a technology that would allow news publishers to build a news service that is similar to Snapchat 'Discover', by making mini-magazine of slides that users could swipe one-by-one on their smartphones, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
