It seems that the competition from Instagram Stories is quite strong and the creators of Snapchat are improving the app with each update. In the last one they have added good improvements, among which the one that gives the title to this article stands out.
The version 9.38.0.0 of this social app that drives Mark Zuckerberg so crazy, has improved different aspects and functions compared to its previous versions
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TEXTS TO WRITE IN THE SNAPS:
Now the writings that we can add to our Snaps have increased in length. We will be able to write much more and, in addition, we will be able to make them bold, italic and underlined.
To be able to modify the text format, we only have to click on it, slightly until the typical options of selecting, copying, and selecting the next option appear
TO PUT ON THE FILTERS LIVE, GIVE A SINGLE TOUCH:
Before the current version of Snapchat,in order to make use of the live filters, like the one with the puppy, the one with the bee , we had to press and hold our face to for these to appear. Since the new update, this is no longer necessary. With a simple touch on our face, they will appear to us.
ANIMATED TEXTS:
Just like we could do with Bitmoji and emoticons, we can now press a written text and position it anywhere on the Snap so that it has movement.
CREATE CUSTOM GEOFILTERS:
It's a new tool on the platform page that allows us to create geofilters without having to be a great graphic designer. There are different templates set to create filters for a wedding, party, birthday, special event, etc
At the moment it is only available in the US, Canada and the UK. Do not think that it is free, to be able to access it you have to pay at least $5. When we have them available in our country, we will talk more in depth about the subject.
NOW YOU CAN SEE STORIES ON SNAPCHAT FROM PEOPLE YOU DON'T FOLLOW:
This is the novelty that we liked the most. Now we can see the history of any user that we do not follow. In this way we can see if it is worth following it or not. This can only be done with people who have their stories public and have shared something in the last 24 hours.. Those who have them "capable", only for friends or for certain people, will not let their content be shown.
To do this we just have to go to the "STORIES" screen. Use the search engine appears at the top (if it does not appear, scroll down the screen a little). Write the username of the person we want to "investigate" their Snaps.
Your Snapchat will appear and by clicking on the circle where you can see the image of your last Snap, we can access to see your story. Obviously, it will appear to that person, in the list of people who have seen their Snap, that you have seen it. The subject is not anonymous.
What do you think of the improvements? Do you like the new way to see Snapchat stories from people you don't follow? if you find them interesting, share it on your social networks to let all your contacts know.
Greetings!!!
