Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra has taken to Twitter to confirm that the Xbox One will soon lose its snap feature.
The snap function will be removed from Xbox One UI via the next big Creators Update.
We replaced Snap to improve multitasking, reduce memory use, improve overall speed, and free up resources going forward for bigger things.

Useful snap functions will be moved to other places in the Xbox Guide, Ybarra also confirmed.
They now show up in the Guide at the bottom, and you can control them, etc.

The Creators Update is with Insiders for testing; a general rollout date has yet to be revealed.
