We've known that changes have been coming with Snapchat for a while.

The picture-sharing app has been innovating ever since it was first started, and we recently brought you news that a piece of code in the latest update was hinting at major changes. Now we have the proof. excited gif The developer who discovered the updates claims to have gotten them working, and has posted screenshots for us to enjoy. The updates appear to revolved around something called 'ChatV2', which looks like a mix between the video calling feature currently available on Snapchat and Facebook messenger. snapdate13 While you can currently call people using the app, it's not the most interactive feature and can be quite clunky. The new system looks far more straight forward, and also allows you to send stickers like you would on Facebook. Whether or not this leads to a live-streaming service like Persicope or Meerkat remains to be seen. snapdate snapdate12
