by

Photo sharing app Snapchat has been updated to version 8.1.0, bringing full support for the larger screens of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The update also includes improved captions with the ability to change the colors of special text, and the ability to stack filters by holding a photo in place with one finger and swiping it to add another filter.

Improved Captions!
You can now change the color of Special Text, pinch to resize, and drag around the screen.
Stacked Filters!
After adding a filter, press and hold with one finger and swipe with another to add a 2nd filter to your Snap!

Snapchat saw its last major update in November, which brought a new "Snapcash" money transfer feature built-in to the chat function. The service also launched a "Snapchat Stories" feature in October that allows users to add photos and videos to a news feed that expire after 24 hours.

Snapchat is a free app for iOS devices and can be downloaded from the App Store. [Direct Link]

The real question is, can I remove "Team SnapChat" from my friends list? I deleted the "Team SnapChat" but I still get spam from "Team SnapChat" on almost weekly basis.

Didn't know you were forced to use it..

I send pics every day to my friends. No need to take a pic and send it through text. Much easier and simpler.
