Of course, this new video feature will inevitably give rise to another round of lazy, small-minded posts about how the app can only be used for sexting. He adds that the company’s focus will continue to be on mobile, despite the fact that the new friending tool and public web profiles could set up a social graph and network for Snapchat. The friending process will make the “Chatroulette”-esque element of Snapchat voluntary, as users have to agree to snap with random people.Įvan Spiegel, co-founder and CEO of Snapchat, says the friending tool partially came about because most early users, including himself and most of his friends, had their first names as their usernames and were being bombarded with random “Hi” snaps. Previously, users could just snap any usernames they wanted existing users won’t have to friend people who are already on their friend lists.
#10 SECOND TIMER SNAPCHAT UPDATE#
The update also includes a new “friending” process, where users have to accept each other as friends before they can send each other snaps. It’s the kind of simple feature that I personally wouldn’t think of developing, but once I’ve used it I wonder why everything doesn’t record this way. The process feels seamless and very similar to the user experience of opening and viewing snaps.

The video starts recording when you press and hold the center “record” circle and stops when you take your finger off of it.
#10 SECOND TIMER SNAPCHAT ANDROID#
Video recording is currently only available for iOS users, although Android users can receive and view video snaps. The time from opening the app to recording video is about a second, making it easy to quickly snap a video of your friends doing something stupid or funny. I’ve used the feature in beta and I’m a big fan. Users can now share 10-second videos the same way they share pictures - by taking the picture or video, setting a timer from 1-10 seconds for the content to disappear after the user opens it, and sending it to another user. Snapchat, the popular impermanent photo-sharing mobile app, is rolling out a major new feature: video sharing.
