Snapchat has introduced new features to its iOS and Android apps by allowing users to link a website to snap. What this means is your friends just have to swipe up to view whatever you link in Snapchat’s internal browser.
With the latest update, users can just tap a little paperclip icon located in the Vertical Toolkit and type in a link, which sounds a lot like what you can do in Instagram already if you’re a publisher or have a verified account.
There are several other cool new features also – backdrops, voice filters, and on-demand geofilters.
With backdrops, you can cut a selected area from your snap and put a colorful pattern on it, using the scissors icon. Just like regular Snapchat filters, the selection of backdrops will rotate daily.
Voice filters were previously only available in Snapchat’s AR live filter lenses. They allow users to remix their voices after recording a snap, with a variety of character voice filters available. Users can also create their own geofilters now — which will start at $5.99 — in the “On-Demand Geofilters” section in settings.
