The Snap feature previously available on Xbox One is not returning.
Eden Marie, Xbox’s engineering lead, made this known on Twitter. “We all miss Snap, but I don’t think it’s coming back.”
Snap was available on Xbox One for a while from the console’s release. The feature allowed people to continue playing a game while having another app open on the side of the screen. In this way, for example, one could turn on Twitch or a YouTube video while playing a game. You could also open the Achievement app next to a game, so that you could keep an eye on the various attainable Achievements.
Eden! If possible please to bring the snap feature back would be amazing it’s a feature I and most of the community miss 💚🙏🏾

The Snap feature disappeared from the Xbox One OS in 2017, when Microsoft released a revamped OS that laid the foundation for the current operating system of modern Xbox consoles. Microsoft then announced that Snap disappeared because it would make the operating system slower than desired.
