Snapchat Are About to Bring In One of Their Biggest Ever Updates

Have you seen that little sloth (??) thing that's vomiting rainbows who seems to be showing up on people's snaps now?

He brings a message!

Snapchat is undergoing a huge overhaul of its chat features in an attempt to make it take on WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

You can watch Snapchat's vid about it under the "Discover" section of the app.

The update they're about to launch will bring a range of new features to its chat tab. 

They will be introducing new audio and video chat options. The company has had video chat for some time, but has made it more obvious to use. It will also add audio chats similar to phone calls for the first time.

They're also launching stickers which are little ready-made reactions and pics that can be sent to friends within chat. 

Within the chat tab, it will also start to allow people to send “Video Notes”, according to BuzzFeed. Those will be taken similar to video snaps, but will be sent within the messaging service and will loop around forever.
