Have you updated your Snapchat yet?  Although there have been some problems with the recent update, people are really enjoying it.

“I really like the rainbow update,” said freshman Cinteana Benjamin.  “The rainbow update is very funny.”

Starting the update is very simple.  Put the front facing camera on. Hold your thumb or finger on your face in the camera.  At the bottom of the screen little options will appear.  You can choose any of these options.  The screen will then say “Raise Your Eyebrows” or “Open Your Mouth” depending on which option you choose.  When the effect takes place, you simply tap the screen as if you were taking a selfie.

“I’m so excited because they added a fishtank,” said freshman Morgan Nutt.

If you are bored, the Snapchat update is definitely a good way to pass time.  Maybe you are on a long car ride or waiting for an appointment.  It might be a little awkward to take a selfie with your eyebrows raised or your mouth open from starting the effect.  The rainbow update definitely takes some time to start.

“The rainbow makes me feel like I’m a unicorn,” said freshman Megan Siniard. “People are really enjoying the vomiting rainbow update.”

There are over seven effects right now.  In the future, there will probably be many more.

Some people use Snapchat to talk to their friends.  If they are feeling confident about their appearance that day, they might send a simple selfie.  They don’t want all these effects to distract the viewer of their Snapchat from how good they think they may be looking that day.

If you feel like using the update, then by all means, go ahead and use it.  It is fun and makes your selfies very laughable.  There is no shame in taking a simple selfie with some fun effects added on; it just makes your Snapchat experience better.
