The popular photo messaging app needed something to combat Instagram’s latest direct messaging feature. So what did the company have in mind? A new update introducing what it calls ‘Smart’ filters and message replays. How thoughtful. Android and iOS users now have the luxury of replaying one snap every 24 hours instead of catching a video for just six seconds before it deletes. The feature is limited and only allows you to replay the most recent video or image found on your timeline. New filters open the lane to include info such as time, temperature, and speed in a new layer. Feel free to test it out heading into Christmas.
