Snapchat is About to Get Some New Features

Snapchat already has features like live video calls, but you almost wouldn't know it, as it's not easily accessible and is still built around those one-at-a-time photo and video messages. However,that may change as it has been leaked that Snapchat is giving its design a much-needed makeover.

Screenshots from Snapprefs' developers show a hidden "ChatV2" interface where audio and video chat are obvious, meaning you'd always know when you could make a live call. There's also a revamped text chat feature that lets you send the stickers that have been popular in other messaging apps.

It's not confirmed if or when the interface will show up, and the developers might well change their plans between then and now.

As popular as Snapchat might be with its 200 million users, it doesn't compare to the amount of users the giants like Facebook Messenger have, with 600 million, or Line, with about 700 million. Better messaging would keep you on Snapchat whenever talking to your friends, rather than hopping between apps.
