Snapchat update adds new Limitless Snap, Magic Eraser, Looping Videos and other features

The popular app Snapchat has received a new update which introduces a bunch of innovative features. With the update, Snapchat users get to experience a handful of new features which include Limitless Snaps, Looping Videos, and more. The creative tool layout has also been somewhat re-organized.

In addition, a new tool named Magic Eraser has been introduced placed under the Scissor tool. The updated Snapchat also gives you the option to draw with emojis. Tap the Doodle icon and then the new emoji icon.

Another new Limitless Snap feature allows your friends view your Snaps for as long as they want. This feature can be enabled by tapping the infinity icon within the timer, which again is a new addition. In a press release, Snapchat stated:

We’ve all felt the frustration of not being able to fully enjoy a Snap – even after replaying it – and we wanted to give you the option of allowing the recipient to enjoy your Snap as long as they’d like. After your friend finishes viewing the Snap and taps to close it, it will delete as usual.

Snapchat also gets a new Loop tool which is very similar to Instagram’s Boomerang feature. This tool is meant for videos and with it ‘you can decide if your Snap plays once or loops until your friend is ready to tap to the next Snap’.
