It's Friday, August 5th, and apparently this is the week where everyone copies Snapchat. First Instagram comes out with stories, and now you too - Facebook is running a little test wearing Facebookers in Canada and Brazil will see a little camera open up at the top of their feed when they launched the Facebook app from there users can take photos or video and add Olympics theme stickers frames and filters just like Snapchat and that's really the highlight of the story here. Snapchat's visual storytelling approach is what made it such a hit but mostly with younger audiences.

The old joke is parents aren't allowed on Snapchat but the reality as many adults really don't get Snapchat because it's so unlike most other social media apps and that you interface with it differently so Instagram and Facebook are wisely emulating Snapchat in their own way hoping to engage wider demographic with this fun way of communicating with friends and family. Spotify today announced a new feature which we believe at hopes will help it better compete with Apple music - it's called release radar and it's a lot like discover weekly.

Spotify has a new team in New York developing programs that deeply analyzed the audio in order to create data its algorithm can use - it's a clever idea and we're looking forward to seeing how it works. The new list is based on the sound of the music itself, unlike Discover Weekly which creates a playlist of music and things you like once a week but made up entirely of recently released music. This release radar should provide users with an interesting way to explore new artists and genres.

In other news, Suicide Squad seems like this movie was in trouble from the get-go. The media has been hammering on its identity crisis from the beginning and we know it went back into reshoots pretty late in the game - some say as a reaction to the huge disappointment that was Batman vs Superman and before the movie was even released super fans were calling for a takedown of movie review aggregator rotten tomatoes over its negative rating of this flick come on is it really that bad.

Well, D. T-Zone Rick Marshall went to watch it for you and you'll just have to read the review because it's complicated - should you go see it? We're definitely leaving that decision to you but no matter what you do with your weekend be sure to check in with Digital Trends to keep up on emerging tech and entertainment news. That's it for dt daily this week, we'll see you right back here on Monday.
