Snapchat no longer rewards fully AI-generated Spotlight content
Friday, July 31, 2026
Snapchat modified its recommendation algorithm to exclude fully AI-generated videos from its Spotlight feature, which recommends content to users. The company stated the change applies only to videos created entirely by artificial intelligence, not to videos that incorporate AI tools alongside human creation. Spotlight is Snapchat's short-form video platform that can reward creators with payment based on engagement metrics.
