Image messaging app Snapchat has added a new capability that will allow its 100 million users to make audio and video calls..
"Today, we’re excited to introduce Chat 2.0. You can start by sending a few chats, and when your friend shows up, start talking or video chatting instantly with one tap," said a statement released on the company's blog.
"Your friend can simply listen if you want to sing them a song, or watch if you have a new puppy to show them. If they aren’t there, you can quickly send an audio note to say what you mean. And sometimes, a sticker says it best."
Adweek reported that Snapchatters could also simultaneously send photos while chatting, record 10-second video notes and send them in loops and post from a range of over 200 cute stickers in private chats.
Snapchat is the latest app to provide a free calling feature to its users, following in the footsteps of others like Skype and LINE.
In addition to the update, Snapchat has also introduced Auto-Advance Stories, allowing a Story to begin automatically when users have finished the previous one and enable them simply swipe to skip ahead or pull down to exit. (kes)
