Snapchat users, rejoice! The wait is over: the popular video messaging app has finally been updated to support the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

If it seems weird to you that it’s taken almost three months for one of iOS’s most popular apps to officially support Apple’s latest handsets, you’re not the only one: a thread on Reddit is filled with Snapchat users who have been clammoring for the update.

But support for larger screen sizes isn’t the only thing that’s new. There’s also a number of smaller changes to the app. Here are the release notes:

What’s New In This Version:

● iPhone 6 and 6+ layouts!

● Improved Captions!

You can now change the color of Special Text, pinch to resize, and drag around the screen.

● Stacked Filters!

After adding a filter, press and hold with one finger and swipe with another to add a 2nd filter to your Snap!

If you’re a Snapchat user, you can grab the app update now on the App Store, or download the app via iTunes here.
