All you need to know about new Snapchat update: Rainbow tongues, paid replays and more!

Snapchat's new Rainbow tongue


The teen-senasation app Snapchat is changing and how!

In a first, it has got in-app purchases, rainbow tongue selfies, ghost faces, science fiction lenses etc..

Power of Snapchat or its popularity lay in the fact how you were able to see your friends’ posts for just once. But that was an old story; company had begun to chip away its hallmark disappearing act years away, first with Snapchat Stories which stayed for unlimited viewing for a period of 24 hours and then with a slightly different but similar, Replay feature which allowed one-on-one messages to be replayed although one replay per day!

That One Replay Per Day is all set to change now with newly introduced paid feature. With Tuesday’s update, you can pay $0.99 for 3 additional replays, though each individual Snap can only be replayed only once. That means you have to choose 3 different snaps to replay! “We’ve provided one Replay per Snapchatter per day, sometimes frustrating the millions of Snapchatters who receive many daily Snaps deserving of a Replay,” read a post on the company’s blog. “But then we realized — a Replay is like a compliment! So why stop at just one?”

Snapchat has been long transforming itself from what it began to be as. By introducing one-on-one text messaging and instant video chatting it had already placed itself as a viable competitor to Facebook, Whatsapp and other IM apps out there. In January this year, Snapchat introduced the discovery tab which lets news, entertainment and sports organizations to communicate with Snapchat’s huge user base in an unique and effective way.

So it’s safe now to say, Snapchat is no more a silly toy only children will use as it was termed back then. They are changing, changing big you like it or not!

How to use new features?


The new update called “Lenses” can be accessed after you have updated to the newer version by holding down on your face while front-camera is open. Rest is quite easy as the app provides ‘how to use’ instructions with its each new feature.
Well, what else are you waiting for? Go open your mouth and world to a whole new world of rainbow tongues and horrific ghost lenses!

If you liked reading what you just read then do consider recommending it to your network! Feedback welcome.

क्या हम वाक़ई चाहते है कि कोरोना ख़त्म हो?

आए दिन मैं किसी ना किसी को ये पूछते हुए सुनता हूँ कि 'ये कोरोना आख़िर जा क्यूँ नहीं रहा है' या फ़िर 'आख़िर ये कब जाएगा?' और मैं यही जवाब देता हूँ कि, जब तक हम सतर्क नहीं बनेंगे, जब तक हम अपने तौर-तरीके जो कोरोनावायरस के फैलने के अनुकुल है उन्हें नहीं बदलेंगे तब तक ये ऐसे ही फैलते रहेगा। जब भी मैं मार्केट जाता हूँ तो मैं अनगिनत लोगों को बिना मास्क के देखता हूँ या फ़िर मास्क ऐसे पहने हुए जो ना पहनने के बराबर है। कुछ तो मार्केट तक मास्क पहनकर आते है जो ज़रूरी नहीं है पर मार्केट में जब भी किसी से बात करनी हो तो मास्क उतार देते हैं जब उसे पहनना बेहद जरूरी है। इन सबका कारण जो भी हो, पर ये सब वो चीज़े है जिनसे कोरोना के फैलने का ख़तरा रहता है। जब तक हम अपने तौर-तरीकों में सुधार नहीं लाएँगे तब तक कोरोना यूँही फैलते रहनेवाला है। ग्रीष्म में लगी जंगल के आग के भाँति कोरोना अपने आप तो थमने वाला है नहीं। तो क्या हम इस भीषण आग को रोकने की कोशिशे कर रहे हैं?  मुंबई में विपक्ष यानी भाजपा माँग कर रही है कि जब बार (bar, मधुशाला) खुले हो सकते है तो मंदिर भी खुलने चाहिए जैसे उन दोनों में क

Why We Should Be Worried Of Google And Facebook’s Plans To Label Fake News For Us

Image
As if gate-keeping was not bad enough, the big boys are planning to be our referees now Remember that ‘breaking news’ when we woke up to Edward Snowden claiming Osama Bin Laden Is “Alive And Well In The Bahamas”? Well, that was fake news. So is Donald Trump, President of The United States of America claiming “72% of refugees admitted into U.S. (2/3 -2/11) during COURT BREAKDOWN are from 7 countries: SYRIA, IRAQ, SOMALIA, IRAN, SUDAN, LIBYA & YEMEN.” Then there’s news about Russia sending Snowden to US as “gift” to Trump which Moscow has recently denied . These examples are but recent and sort of tip-of-the-iceberg of what is now a behemoth empire of fake and clickbait ‘news’ business. It’s everywhere. From Facebook which can be called the mine of it all to Google to any other service you use. This is not just confined to news about Snowden or Trump’s lies but there are massacres ‘happening’ where there are none to people getting elected for NASA when there’s no p

optimism is the key for traversing from ordinary folk to extraordinary giant!!!

The most important thing I learnt from this materialistic world is 'Being Optimistic '. How-so-ever and what-so-ever the situation may be, a simple belief in the task you do, could just be the supreme thing at your side. Honestly, BELIEVE IN OPTIMISM. It can do billion things for you, which you thought impossible to happen. If a child doesn't believe in itself, and starts to doubt its legs during the common initial falls, than for sure he is bound to have himself delayed in walking or permanently loosing the fine art of it! A cent percent belief in yourself which says, 'I can outperform everyone & everything' is the prime necessity for humankind. Think for a quite moment, what made you to travel or crawl upto this stage of your life, has somebody gave a push or kick?! Of course not. Its the same old belief that you had in yourself, low or high, would sure have its own implication. Had people in past believed, 'only birds could fly and fishes could swim'
