Snapchat Leak Reveals An Upgraded Messaging Experience With Audio & Video Calling, Stickers & More
- 8 years ago
A number of new features have been spotted within the existing code for Snapchat's mobile app, including audio and video calling, as well as stickers within Snapchat's chat interface, among other things.
Assuming Snapchat actually rolls out the updated code to its broader user base, the additions could make the app more competitive with traditional messaging applications like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Google's Hangouts, or even Chinese messaging app WeChat - the latter, which Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel has said in the past that he admires.
After all, Snapchat's earlier experiment with charging for in-app selfie lenses was shut down this month , indicating the company is still on the lookout for other sources of revenue.
