Snapchat are adding some very cool new video features

Brilliant news...

You’re going to be spending a lot more time messing around on Snapchat.

That’s because some brilliant new features are being added to the app which allow you to mess around with time itself. Well, in a video sense.

You will be able to add slow motion, fast-forward and rewind effects to your videos with a new set of ‘speed modifier’ filters.

Ever fancied doing a super slow-mo Baywatch run and sending it to your mates? Well now you can.

All you have to do is swipe sideways after making a video and you’ll eventually see these options applied to your clip.

So next time your mate falls on his arse, you’ll be able to send it in wonderful slow-motion.

Then there’s endless Benny Hill gags to be had speeding your videos up with the fast-forward option.

TechCrunch say Snapchat is also adding 3D Touch capability for the iPhone 6S and 6S+.

If you’ve updated your software then a single strong tap on your Snapchat icon will allow you to easily reach those options that allow you to send a snap or add a new friend.

Hours of fun.
