Snapchat update adds text chat and video calling
Snapchat is getting a lot more chatty today with an upgrade that stands to make it a more viable all-around messaging platform. The newest feature — simply named Chat — allows you and a buddy to have a conversation using nothing but text.
How’s it different from SMS, or something like Hangouts, Facebook Messenger or GroupMe? After both sides have viewed any message, that message will get whisked away just as photos do. They’ve even made it so that participants can strike up a video call if both are present in the chat at the same time (an exchange which obviously won’t be recorded).
Snapchat may not have proven themselves as the most secure platform out there, but if you aren’t exchanging too many unpleasantries that you absolutely wouldn’t want anyone else to see it’s a very interesting platform for friends to chat in a different way. Head to Google Play for the upgrade.
