Snapchat is still on the move to improve itself, and with the rate it is adding more features, it's showing no sign of stopping.
The company launches two features that should be handy for those that want to edit their Snaps on the go. Called Multi-Snap and Tint Brush, they're like common improvements Snapchat has done, but a bit uncommon for the many.
Coming up first, Multi-Snap allows users to record multiple video snaps in seamless succession. To do this, they just need to hold the record button beyond the usual ten-seconds limit. Snapchat will automatically film the next clip. Snapchat limits six clips in a row.
And as the usual Snapchat, the result can be decorated collectively with Snapchat’s built-in creative tools and filters. That effect can carry out throughout each Snap in sequence. Users can also delete any ten-seconds clip, but Snapchat is not allowing users to re-arrange the sequence,
When sent, the receivers will see the clips in chronological order, with the ability to skip any individual clip as usual.
Multi-Snap is essentially a feature that extends the usual Snapchat ten-seconds Snap. It's like a workaround for users that want to capture anything longer than usual.
While this is certainly a welcomed feature, some wonder why Snapchat just didn't increase the time limit to 60 seconds instead of making 6 clips with 10 seconds each.
The next feature is called Tint Brush. The tool should be familiar to anyone who has used a color replacement or tinting app. The feature is basically a tool that allows users to recolor pretty much anything in their snaps.
The feature can be found in the Vertical Toolkit on the right-side of the screen. Taping on the Tint Brush icon will allow users to pick a color and trace any object on a snap to recolor.
The outline doesn’t have to be exact. Snapchat uses machine learning to select the likely target area and fill in the whole thing with the newly selected color, while also preserving image details underneath.
Snapchat is adding new features at a rapid pace, and this is seen as a competitive advantage over competitors like Instagram.
The Multi-Snap feature, for example, can fundamentally change the core aspect of how Snapchat is used, and the development can further tense the battle between the two as they kept trying to innovate (and copy) over any possibilities.
