Snapchat is taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane with snapchat’s latest updates, bringing back some old-school vibes in a modern package.
First up, Snapchat is revamping Bitstrips, the predecessor to Bitmoji, which once took Facebook by storm. The app is now introducing new episodes of Bitmoji Stories, featuring 3D Bitmoji avatars for a more personalized experience. Remember how Bitstrips used to light up your Facebook feed with comic-strip fun? Now you can relive that excitement with your digital doppelganger making appearances in fresh story frames on Snapchat.
But that’s not all. Snapchat is also jumping on the music bandwagon with its new lyric stickers, making it easier to sing along to your favorite tunes right within the app. This move signals Snapchat’s growing focus on music, especially as other platforms, like Instagram, are also ramping up their music features.
For Snapchat+ subscribers, there are even more exciting updates. You can now set custom ringtones for different friends or group chats. This retro feature harks back to the early 2000s, when personalized ringtones were all the rage. It’s a fun throwback that lets you identify who’s calling without even looking at your phone.
Additionally, Snapchat+ users will soon be able to rewatch their own Snaps for up to five minutes after sending them. It’s a handy feature that brings a touch of nostalgia and convenience to your Snapping experience.
These updates are a clever nod to past trends, reimagined for today’s app landscape. If these new features catch on, they could boost engagement and draw more users to Snapchat’s premium offerings.
