Snapchat Update Thrills Users Everywhere
Last Tuesday, the popular app Snapchat released a new update with many fun, exciting features.
The biggest change is the addition of lenses, which allow users to take animated selfies. For example, one of the lenses shows a rainbow pouring out of the selfie-taker’s open mouth. Another makes the person’s eyes look watery, and if they blink, the tears fall down to make the person look like they are crying. Every day, one filter is deleted and another is added so that there is also variety in the lenses you can use.
Another new change is the addition of extra replays so that viewers can watch the disappearing images more than once. Before the update, users could use one replay a day. Now, they still have one free replay a day, but there is also the option to purchase extra replays. Three replays cost $0.99, 10 are $2.99, and for those that love to replay their friend’s pictures, you can purchase 20 replays for $4.99.
The last big modification was the addition of the trophy case. When users complete certain tasks, they earn a trophy. For example, sending a video earns you the trophy “VHS Tape” and using five or more pen colors in a single picture unlocks “lollipop.”
Stay tuned for the next big update, and make sure to send some selfies today!
