Snapchat Introduces Filters, Pointless Novelties And Alluring “Replay” Function


The holy repository of dick pics, tit pics, hideous selfies and cringey vanity videos OS mates insist on sending while holidaying in places where you’d rather be, Snapchat, has unveiled a Christmas treat for iOS users, with an app update of relatively pointless additions – fitting for the most pointless app that has secured dudes billions based on the premise of sexting. 

Clawing its way to instagram’s elegance and ubiquity, Snapchat has gifted its users three “smart filters” to add to glamour shots, a highly necessary contrast-boosting feature for an ephemeral photo that will be lost permanently into the Snapchat ether after about three seconds, if I’ve ever heard of one. A black and white filter has also been included for those who, evidently, have an exceeding amount of time on their hands, with their careful consideration of which filter to use on their snapchats. FFS. 

Also included, according to TechCrunch, are features to document the temperature of where you took a snapchat and the speed in which you were traveling whilst taking the said snapchat. Mm, Relevant.

Aside from also adding a larger Helvetica typeface to decorate creations with, the most alluring new addition is, however, the replay function; containing the exact premise as it implies, and thus fundamentally undermining the beauty of the app – replaying a fleeting dick pic for an extra peek – but with the cruel bonus of only being able to use the function once per day. 

This calls for some hideous, filtered selfies.
