Snapchat lijkt keihard de strijd aan te gaan met WhatsApp. Je kunt nu ook bellen via de populaire plaatjes en video deler. In Nederland heeft Snapchat 2,5 miljoen gebruikers. Dit zijn veelal jongeren. Snapchat maakte 29 maart 2016 de nieuwe functies op hun blog bekend:
When we first launched Chat, our goal was to emulate the best parts of face-to-face conversation. Chat 1.0 was all about the joys of being here — when most apps told you when your friend was typing, Chat let you know that your friend was listening. Two years later, we’ve learned a ton about how people talk, but our goal remains unchanged. We want Chat to be the best way to communicate — second only to hanging out face-to-face.
