Snapchat Updated with Support for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Improved Captions and Filters

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.

What's new
iPhone 6 and 6+ layouts!
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.

Apple Closes Unlocked iPhone Loophole for T-Mobile and Verizon Financing
