Snapchat is agreeably one of the most used instant interactive apps universally.
Our love for Snapchat has let it evolve over the years, with its addition of features like the Discover Channels, Live feeds, Videochat, Stickers, Awards and its most loved swanky new filters, they made the app more fun than ever!
But, are there any features you still wish it had or could bring back?
Inspired by Mashables is the list of Snapchat features you wish existed, based on popular concern and wishful thinking!
** :S as an emoticon recurring through the text denotes sheepishness **
1. Bring back the Besties : The first and foremost popular concern, ever since this feature was first terminated has been that of the best friend list.
Earlier, Snapchat had the best friend feature that listed the top 3 friends with whom you exchanged snaps. Needless to say you check not only yours but every single person on your list's "best friends" while you whiled away time on the pot. It goes without saying these lead to nudges among school boys, giggles among girls, jealousy between lovers and laughs between friends. A favourite means to pass time amongst most teenagers.
WE WANT IT BACK ! :S
2. Friends tag : A feature we wish existed on Snapchat is the ability to tag your friend(s) in a picture or story that would automatically be sent across to your friend. Never miss a story that you were meant to see! A fun way to include your friends in your post.
3. Step back : The ability to go back and see a story in case you miss-tapped. Instead of re-watching a friends story and restarting the process of viewing the 180s econd story only to perhaps bypass what you missed yet again. -_-
4. Voice Filter : A Voice modulator, much like filters for the face, we want a couple of filters for voice modulation so we can get creative with videos, I can already picture the Batman voice, Marge from Simpsons, Brian and Stewie from The Family Guy and the Darth Vader voice topping the charts! What fun.
5. Different Fonts : We need a little change. You end up sounding similar no matter what your current mood. Whispering something sexy and romantic in BIG BLOCK letters just doesn't set the mood. Erm.
6. Use a Rubber : An eraser for the drawing tool, god yes, we need this.
You notice something terrible askew that you didn't draw two or three lines ago, DISASTER. Now you have to 'abandon' your 'masterpiece'. :/
7. Save Fave : New filters and featured filters often make their way into our hearts. Filters undoubtedly have been the new love on Snapchat, but are temporary and constantly changing and we want the ability to save 3 of our favourite filters which we can use permanently at any given time, sometimes you just need that beard, an urge to puke some rainbows or cuddle up to some puppy love.
8. Re-view : A scary thought much like the best friend feature that used to be on Snapchat and a lot like the screenshot notification that pops up, is a fresh idea of having a 'Peeping Tom' feature that allows the user to view how many times someone has seen their story or who has viewed a particular picture/story the most number of times.
9. Customize your filter : An ability to choose from a set of Ears, Noses, Eyes, Headgear, Tattoos and Facial hair/Hairstyles to customize a new look for yourself by creating a temporary filter a-day that you can share with your friends as well. Get a Mike Tyson Tattoo for your face and top it with Justin Bieber's latest hairstyle. Getting a beach-bod for the summer now becomes easier.
10. Revised Face-swap : Face swap with trending movie characters or posters readily available as filters. A win win situation for all those trying to promote their movies as well.
11. Group Hug : Adding groups on Snapchat for a cluster of friends that you can send snaps to at one touch without having to go through your list to pick them out. Don't miss out a friend when you're sending a "hottie alert" or special moment anymore.
This feature should also come with an ability to conference/group voice call if not video chat :S
12. Incognito : A Hidden screenshot feature! This is not as scary as it sounds, although it could be :S
Much like the 'Replay' feature that allows you to replay a video or snap in case you missed it or just want another look, the hidden screenshot feature would allow one to take a screenshot once a day without notifying the other person after which any screenshots taken after the daily feature has been utilized will result in a notification.
@TeamSnapchat if any of who are reading this make some wishes come true, or bring one of them out on a special occasion. Thank you for this app, do consider the changes :S
