"Snapchat users received a surprise collection of curated Snaps from Brazil on Sunday, which reveal a glimpse at what it's like to be in the country for the World Cup final.\nIn the hours leading up to the match between Argentina and Germany, Snapchat users began to receive a stream of photos that showed how people were enjoying their time before the final.\nSee also: Supermoon Rises: 10 Gorgeous Photos to Remind Us How Small We Are\nAfter the game started at 3 p.m. ET, more Snaps were added to the \"Our Story\" collection, and were pushed out by an account called \"Rio Live.\"\nSnapchatters are being encouraged to send their photos and videos to \"Rio Live,\" an account that now appears automatically under contacts for all users. While the company didn't promote the \"Rio Live\" account beforehand, users caught on quickly, a spokesperson told Mashable.\n\"We did not promote,\" the spokesperson said. \"Only the Snapchatters in Rio are able to add to the Live Story, but everyone on Snapchat is able to view. \"\n\nSunday's move marks the first major test of Snapchat's new group-sharing feature called Our Story, which pulls posts from many users into one large Snapchat story for 24 hours. The company tested the feature in June during the Electric Daisy Carnival music festival in Las Vegas, allowing concertgoers to share images and videos to \"Our EDC Story.\" However, this is the first time Snapchat has experimented with the feature for such a large global event.\n\nThe concept builds on a feature that Snapchat launched in October, which allows users to share and add Snaps to a collection for a 24-hour period before they disappear.\nHave something to add to this story?
