Lenses: A New Way to Use Snapchat

The application Snapchat arrives this Tuesday at its version 9.15.0.0 for iPhones and cell phones running Android. This new update speaks to “before taking a selfie, pinch and hold your finger on the screen for a surprise”.

When following the instruction to press and hold the finger on the screen, a new option appears: they are the Lenses, name of the new function. You can select new “filters” to use on your snaps, from hearts bursting out of your eyes, an older picture of yourself and even turning into a monster:

Another novelty of the application, which will not please the public in this update, is that it is now possible to in-app purchases (in-app purchases), but not for the user to have new filters, for example, but so that he can give replay on snaps. The user will have the option to pay 99 cents to review the photo someone uploaded. However, once a day it is still possible to give replay free.

Snapchat has also added a “trophy case”, which depending on the user's engagement level in the app, he can earn a trophy, such as by the number of snaps already published or number of snaps viewed per day. Just stay on the app's homepage, click on the Snapchat logo at the top of the screen and a small trophy will appear in the same place:

The update weighs 62.9 MB on App Store and 29,07 MB in Play Store. Snapchat is available for download from the following links:
