Kylie Jenner helps to wipe $1bn from Snapchat with tweet over redesign woes

Users rebel against social media app's new features while celebrities dump platform as it tries to appeal to new users

More than $1bn was wiped off Snap Inc's market value on Thursday, in one of the company's worst trading days since it went public last year - and the rout was led by a bored tweet from a member of the Kardashian clan.

Kylie Jenner, one of the first wave of celebrities whose fame grew primarily on Snapchat over other social media firms, shared her disappointment with the app on Twitter late on Wednesday: "sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me ... ugh this is so sad," she said. "[S]till love you tho snap ... my first love".
