hi I'm Joshua Smith from col to MAAC and
0:09
welcome to another episode of the
0:10
appraisal Snapchat is one of my favorite
0:12
apps it's always fun snapping back and
0:14
forth with my friends and just recently
0:16
the app received a pretty hefty update
0:18
including instant messaging like chat
0:20
and live video chat so today I'm
0:22
bringing you guys an inside look and my
0:24
first impressions of the new features so
0:26
stay tuned to check it out
0:40
I woke up this morning to a snap from
0:42
Snapchat itself telling me of some new
0:43
features and they're finally on my
0:45
device first up is chat it's like
0:47
instant messaging but with a Snapchat
0:49
flare see when you leave the chat screen
0:51
the message from your chat disappears
0:53
the only way it will stay is if you tap
0:55
and bold it otherwise it's gone forever
0:58
it's pretty cool and works relatively
0:59
well but I forgot to save a few times
1:01
and was confused as to what I was
1:03
talking about later there's no going
1:05
back it's gone and lastly my personal
1:07
favorite is live video the yellow button
1:09
in your chat screen turns blue when your
1:11
friend has the chat open too just tap
1:13
and hold it from there to launch a live
1:15
video conversation a bubble shows up as
1:17
a viewer on your screen while your
1:18
friend is in the background drag your
1:20
bubble to the bottom for a selfie and
1:22
the top to switch to your rear camera
1:24
two great new features and one great app
1:25
earns the Snapchat update four out of
1:27
five stars I've been a Snapchat fan for
1:29
for quite some time now and while I
1:31
thought my stories were cool this update
1:33
only adds to the app chat worked well
1:35
and it's a quick and easy way to get
1:37
connected and while live video may not
1:39
always be convenient I found it worked
1:40
well for quick little moments with your
1:42
friends so I definitely recommend you
1:44
update your app and give it a
1:46
go Snapchat is available in app stores
