Facebook wants to look like Snapchat
It seems that Facebook is not resigned to losing the war against the messaging application Snapchat And it is that this tool, which has its main focus of attention among the public American adolescent, but that little by little is expanding throughout the rest of the world, has managed to do a lot of damage to Facebook by snatching away an important sector of its users: the young people An audience that prefers not to record their actions and activities, but does want to share them.Issues that Facebook exposes to all your friends and family without self-destructing, like Snapchat Things that the most popular social network wants to change
Thus, as the media commented TechCrunch, Facebookhas started testing a new feature through its app for iPhone and iPad At the moment not everyone has access to the new tool for post photos, so it is understood that it is still in testing before taking all users of iOS and , then those of Android A new process when it comes to uploading or publishing photos on the social network that bears too many blatant similarities withSnapchat, perhaps in an attempt to attract the attention of users who are more fond of photo retouching.
In this way, many users of iOS have come across a new screen when posting photos on Facebook Whereas until now it was only possible to apply stickers to these photographs , now some users have discovered new tools with filters and the possibility to write and draw on these images that they are outputting. Of course, at the moment there is no news about being able to make all these contents disappear after they are published.
Simply select an image from the gallery in the usual publishing process. However, it is now possible to swipe from left to right or vice versa to apply different filtersto the image, going from one to the other instantly, and comparing those that are followed.They are classic filters like Vintage, Black and White, Spring, Autumn, Summer, Winter and other simple but colorful varieties.
But things get more interesting when you press the magic wand button. Here are tabs with buttons to tweak other aspects. Issues such as choosing filters in a more broad and simple format, as if it were the application InstagramOr the possibility of writing text on the image Of course, with printed letters, although being able to resize the words to change their size and also its color The fun stickers or Stickers have not been left out either, which continue to be applied from their tab in the position and size that the user prefers.
With all this, all that remains is to publish the image, which is now more showy and striking.Something that could attract the attention of users less likely to publish content. But it's hard for Facebook to get teenagers back if it doesn't apply changes to other issues beyond the merely decorative. And it is that Snapchat has been able to capture them immediately, the autoborrado and other possibilities such as drawing about the images before sharing them. So we will have to wait to see if Facebook decides to apply changes to this new tool before making it available to everyone in the coming weeks
