Snap Inc. (NASDAQ: SNAP), the owner of photo-sharing platform Snapchat that competes with Facebook’s Instagram, reported a narrower loss of $0.16 per share for the third quarter, aided by a 50% growth in revenues to $446 million. Microblogging site Twitter (TWTR) last week issued weak outlook for the December-quarter, after its third-quarter profit fell sharply to $0.17 per share and missed estimates.

The company is currently working to deliver on its promise of reducing toxic content on the platform, after being slapped heavy fines by the regulators. This has led to massive increase in its expenses over the past few quarters.
