Poor Snapchat; everyone's stealing their features (and inwards or in addition to thus cases, being to a greater extent than successful alongside them). The filters in addition to the Stories features induce got been taken in addition to used yesteryear challenger companionship Facebook on Messenger in addition to photo-sharing app Instagram. As expected, afterward beingness robbed in addition to overtaken yesteryear their competitor, Snapchat induce got brought out a novel update alongside tweaks to the app, inwards a bid to railroad train themselves apart in addition to trace users dorsum in; here's the low-down on the recent update:
Time Limit Tweaks
When Snapchat was commencement introduced, it was really basic in addition to something no-one had seen before. You could only post a photo, doodle on it or add together or in addition to thus text, in addition to post it to a friend for a for sure amount of seconds; but no to a greater extent than than ten. The fact that the message or empty-headed selfie was temporary made the app master copy in addition to really in-the-moment.Now, the app even in addition to thus has the selection to select the amount of seconds yous desire to post your snap for, but also has a picayune infinity symbol available, which indicates that there's no limit, in addition to the Snap volition live visible until yous click off it. Great if 10 seconds of your friend's cute pug isn't plenty right? Sit in that place in addition to coo at it a picayune longer if yous fancy it.
'No limit' is a slight exaggeration, every bit photos even in addition to thus vanish afterward 24 hours, in addition to unless yous really love that photograph of the pug, you'll probable tap to brand the photograph vanish afterward a few minutes at most, in addition to thus the temporary regulation of Snapchat is even in addition to thus present.
Magic Eraser
An interesting novel add-on to the editing tools is the Magic Eraser tool. By tapping the pair of scissors ikon on the editing shroud - along alongside the cutting in addition to re-create selection even in addition to thus available - there's an ikon of three-stars, which is your erasing tool.
But when would yous role it?
Maybe you've taken a non bad selfie; you've got the lighting right, the angle correct - it's i you'll desire to plaster on ALL of your accounts. Problem is, your friend's surprise birthday gift is photobombing you, lurking inwards the background - actually visible - in addition to yous desire to post them the selfie. With the novel tool yous tin arrive vanish, in addition to even in addition to thus percentage your selfie alongside everyone; employment solved!
Or, inwards a less urgent scenario, erase your eyebrows or a few teeth inwards a selfie for a laugh. Either way; non bad novel feature.
Videos on Loop
The terminal novel characteristic is the novel Loop tool, using which yous tin select to set your snap video on loop, or exactly play it once. You're basically making your brusk Snapchat video a GIF, which plays on loop over in addition to over again. Again, if yous post a looped video to a friend, they tin select when to click off it in addition to arrive disappear.
This novel characteristic is comparable to the pop Boomerang characteristic on Instagram....are Snapchat playing them at their ain game? Yes, spell the video only repeats on loop rather than beingness all artsy in addition to reversing when repeated, or in addition to thus induce got picked upward the similarities.
Snap Inc. conclude their press loose on the update, which was released yesterday, yesteryear saying:
