Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft Removes Snap From Xbone

I guess I'm need to log into the insider program and see if I got the update.



Around the Network

You will notice if you got the update instantly, unless your Xbone goes straight to TV when on. The big ass Live tile is missing. They gimped it to not be so Live to free up resources.

Xbone... the new "N" word   Apparently I troll MS now | Evidence | Evidence

If they are replacing it with PiP, it's a definitive upgrade. Instead of wasting an entire 1/4 of the screen you can just use a tiny square. Much better.

Maybe it's not a much used feature, but it's definitively great and I would like to have something like that on other consoles. Normally people don't want to game and do other stuff, but I would use it to follow a soccer game while playing.



So glad it's gone. I hated the snap feature. Have they added a genre search to the store yet? I've been wanting that since launch

I like it somewhat simply because when I play gears of war 4 elimination, waiting for your turn can get boring.

I was disappointed until I saw those pip photos. Looks great. I haven't received the update yet though I am part of the preview program.



XBox did us so dirty smh they creeped that feature out in the middle of the night lol



PiP would be a huge upgrade, so long as it can be moved around the screen. Because of the nature of UIs in video games, the acceptable area for TV box is different with every game.

No.. They did not.. This changed happend for a SMALL number of people in the Preview Program.  Most of the Preview people did not even recieve it, let alone about 25 million consoles.

This change doesn't come until the April update. So you are finding out about the upcoming change about 2-3 months before its out even.

So yeah.

Good. You can't watch 2 things at once. You can have 2 on the screen but you're not really watching either. You're just half watching each and not getting the whole experience. If I want to not pay attention to a movie or game I'll play on my phone to do so.

How very un "Iron Man" of you.

uh that's one thing.  I'm making a new atom.  If I were doing that, and had the Godfather next to it you would have a correlation.
