My main dislike is that it now uses an algorithm to populate my "friends" section, hiding arbitrary friends from me. I have no confidence that I can see all my friends' stories because of the exceptionally poor UX.

On top of this, Snapchat has decided that people I connect with who don't connect with me are as valueless as random adverts and "influencers". I now have no way of consuming stories from people I find interesting without scrolling endlessly through ads and clickbait. Obviously this is by design but it is some of the most user-hostile UX I have encountered.
