Procrastination made better.
Snapchat has already taken over the lives of a certain generation of people in Ireland and around the world and it could be about to exert an even greater influence from now on after new features were rolled out today.
The mobile messaging app revealed a number of new features today to enhance user experience, including one that will give a range of different options when taking selfies and another that will allow users to replay snaps that have disappeared.
With a new feature called ‘Lenses’, meanwhile, users will be able to apply seven face filters after taking a selfie to help bring that selfie to life by, for example, distorting your face, making it look older or by adding sounds and animations.
Snapchat users have been able to replay one disappeared Snap per day up to now, but they will now be able to replay as many as they want to, even though they’ll have to fork out some cash to do so.
From today on, US Snapchat users can purchase three replayed snaps for $0.99; it is not yet clear when it will be rolled out worldwide.
Finally, Snapchat users will be rewarded for the way use the app with a new feature called ‘Trophies’ which users can check via a small trophy icon which turns yellow when a new one has been awarded.
Good luck getting any work done lads.
