A new update for Snapchat is being pushed to its users today, introducing new options for taking and editing photos on the fly. Notable changes have been made to the service, thanks to two new major features being introduced in this update.
Firstly, we see the debut of the ‘Lenses’ feature which, using face tracking, overlays special effects on the in-app camera for use with images produced using the application. A collection of preset effects are available, and after a small period of testing, the choices may be limited, however definitely show promise on the platform. The effects currently available for the feature demo the technology successfully, but sadly, due to the significant lack of choice, many Snapchat stories are currently cluttered in the same seven lenses.
