As the name suggests, it is a mobile chat app that also allows for communication using a device&#8217;s front-facing camera, as well as the sharing of photographs and drawings. The big draw here is setting an expiration &#8212; up to ten seconds &#8212; on the images, or video, sent. SnapChat&#8217;s short-sends gives it a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2013\/01\/03\/tech\/mobile\/snapchat\" >bad reputation <\/a>  &#8212; as a &#8220;sexting&#8221; app. That will not change with today&#8217;s announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The company is &#8220;thrilled to announce the arrival of video to our Android community&#8221;. The update is included in version 2.0 of the app, which just hit the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.snapchat.android&amp;feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd\" >Google Play Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While video is the big addition in this update, there&#8217;s more. SnapChat has also &#8220;revamped our notification system to give you more informative, exciting, and customizable notifications from your friends&#8221;. In addition, a claim of more reliable behavior was made, due to bug fixes that are also included in 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>Before you get too excited, the announcement comes with a caveat &#8212; &#8220;Some users will still experience difficulties&#8221;. Hopefully those difficulties will not include images and video not expiring, which could result in evidence a few customers may live to regret. However, the company also promises that &#8220;We have a ton of great updates on the way&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=BF3rBgMh7sg:OChf0Op9IJQ:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=BF3rBgMh7sg:OChf0Op9IJQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/bn\/~4\/BF3rBgMh7sg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snapchat is popular app among young people.
