These are the new features that could be coming to Snapchat soon
The ephemeral messaging application Snapchat continues to conquer new users thanks to its photos and videos that self-destruct. However, the company behind the application does not stop there and tests new functions that could further catapult the success of this Snapchat We are talking about new functions such as calls and video calls that could soon have a place within the application that is conquering the youngest mobile users.
This is revealed by several filtered screenshots through the well-known developer forum XDA Developers Some images that would come from a mobile with a system operating Android and that demonstrate the renewed messaging service that Snapchat would be testing under the name ChatV2 Something that would confirm that, in brief, the messaging application could welcome new features that would make it even more attractive to potential new users, and that would allow it to compete with already existing messaging tools.
As can be seen in the images, the visual aspect of the conversations would change significantly. Until now, private conversations have been found on the left-hand screen of the app, where tapping on any friend's name will start sending messages and photos privately Now, however, the interface would be much more similar to Facebook Messenger, with new buttons for each function added: video calls, calls, photos and stickers
Thus, a bottom line with these buttons would be present in the new chat screen, it being only necessary to choose what content you want to send . In the case of images, in addition, there is now a selection window integrated into the chat screen , which means having access to the latest photos without leaving the conversation. And the same would happen with the stickers or pegatinas
However, what is striking are the calls and video calls, which although hidden, would already be integrated within Snapchat Thus, a blue face would indicate the presence of the other contact in the conversation, which would allow clicking on the camera or microphone icon to choose the communication method.With this, the interlocutor receives a notification where answer or reject the call or video call
If you answer, the video call would show a similar operation to that seen in other tools such as Facebook Messenger, exchanging images through the front camera and in real time Calls, that is, where only sound is shared , would allow to keep the chat active to exchange images, stickers or written messages while users talk.
At the moment, it seems that these are only functions in test, without Snapchat confirming or denying any information about these features. Leaked information hints at one-on-one conversations, so Snapchat would still give weight to stories or snaps crowds to get content massively.We will have to wait and see if, finally, the Snapchat applications are updated with these functions of video calls and calls , and the new interface; and also to see if this has a direct impact on the number of users of Facebook Messenger, LINE or WhatsApp
