Last year, Snapchat focused on enhancing its AR and sound tools. The platform enabled advanced AR try-on, new AR lenses, and sound library expansion. Today Snapchat adds new ways to snap. To kick off the new year, Snapchat adds a slew of new messaging features to make chats more fun and expressive.
Bitmoji Reactions
These are personalized crazy cartoons that Snap chatters can use to snap. With seven emotions to choose from, it will be easier to react to a message or share your feelings in a chat.
Chat Reply
A chat reply allows a Snap chatter to respond to an individual message within an ongoing chat. Simply hold down a message and tap reply. It helps users better communicate with a context and keep convos on track.
Improved Calling
The improved calling feature of Snapchat now allows users to preview who joined a group call before answering the call. Millions of video-calling lenses have also been added to help you snap in many ways.
Poll Stickers
Snap chatters can now add emoji-powered polls to Snaps and Stories. These visual polls are currently available to Android and iOS. Designed with transparency in mind, emojis can help friends vote with kindness and thoughtfulness.
