    Snapchat Brings Native Checkout to Select Influencers: Snapchat introduces a native shop and checkout feature. While the native checkout feature will be available to U.S. users, shops (powered by Shopify) are currently limited to only five official accounts.

    The accounts with access to the in-app shop feature, accessible on an account's page, include Kylie Jenner of Kylie Cosmetics, Kim Kardashian of KKW Beauty, Shay Mitchell's Béis, Spencer Pratt's Pratt Daddy Crystals, and Bhad Bhabie of BHADgoods. Snap Inc. confirms plans to release the tool to more accounts in the coming weeks.

    On Snapchat, influencers will get to launch their own shops on the platform before brands https://t.co/ehxD4wI74l

    The native checkout feature is limited to Snapchat users in the U.S. Due to privacy and data requirements, international users are directed to a mobile website.

    Facebook Reports New Stats Around Facebook Watch: Facebook reports that Facebook Watch, which debuted globally less than a year ago, now boasts more than 720 million users monthly and 140 million daily users spend at least one minute on Watch. On average, daily visitors are spending on average 26 minutes on Watch videos. Brands using ad breaks to monetize these videos tripled in the last year.

    Facebook is looking to entice both advertisers and viewers with new capabilities around social viewing and more original programming. It is also looking to forge more global partnerships with entertainment and sports programming to deliver a wide range of content and collaborations between creators and digital publishers on Watch.
