Snapchat adds texting and video calling

Users of the 10-second video social network will find an update that allows them to chat with their Snapchat buddies. Accessible straight from the main camera view, all you have to do is swipe the person you want to chat with and you’re on your way. As in normal Snapchat fashion, the moment you go away from the conversation, your messages disappear. You do have the option to save messages you deem important though. That’s not the only thing that Snapchat is adding though.

When you’re Snapchatting someone or have a chat window open, there will be a notification button — that’s blue — that will allow you to instantly turn that chat into a video call. You have the option of using the rear or front camera. Of course, video calling is just as permanent as the rest of Snapchat’s other features. Video can be one sided or both people can share in the experience. We have a video after the break that demonstrates these new features. Enjoy!
