**September 15, 2015**: A day that will live in infamy. The reason? It’s the day
Snapchat released its latest update, called _[“A Whole New Way to See Yourself(ie)](http://blog.snapchat.com/post/129151515055/a-whole-new-way-to-see-yourselfie)_”.
By now, you received multiple snaps of rainbow vomit, endless videos of tears, hearts
and _many_ glamorous paparazzi shots. While it seems each day there are new **lenses**
are added and others vanishing (as quick as Facebook’s poke app. Remember [that](http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/9/5700732/facebook-poke-is-dead-and-so-is-facebook-camera)?),
Snapchat has _once again_ raised the bar in keeping their users _engaged_ and _hooked_.

We’ve watched Snapchat amp up their editorial selection, cover worldwide events 
and consistently add in new geofilters. Now the app has once again defied the odds
and developed a way to keep their users interested AND talking. Here are the **four
things** this major new Snapchat update means for you.

 

 1. ** The Big D**

You’ll find yourself endlessly exploring the various lenses. You’ll be consumed 
with laughter and saying to yourself “_Do it again, do it again_”! Sure, the filming
aspect is a whole lotta fun but with that, there’s a price to pay – **DATA**. As
much as we all hate getting those reminder texts that reads “_You have used 80% 
of your data for this month,_” you can expect to see ‘em more after you spend endless
time filming yourself at least four times in each filter.

 

 2. ** Stronger Than Yesterday**

With the new lenses come _very_ important instructions. “_Raise your eyebrows,_”
and “_Open your mouth,_” are what you’ll see over and over again. Since we’re trained
to follow instructions, that’s exactly what you’ll see each Snapchatter doing: **
raising eyebrows** and **opening their mouths**. On any given day there are _seven_
lenses to choose from that’ll have you exercising all parts of your face. Say goodbye
to the double chin and _hello_ to the wrinkles on your forehead.

 3. ** Raising The Bar**

Snapchat has allowed us to [online casino](http://www.nbso.ca/) draw on our pictures
and videos, add in emojis and different filters. Now on top of all that, you can
include these new **selfie lenses**. While you’ll spend an endless amount of time
mastering the perfect snap, the level of creativity and originality matters _now_
more than ever. Sure, you can do the crying video or the smoke-coming-from-your-
nostrils video, but would you ever think to do [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC0z7n-8bIQ)?
Or [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLVk8GmeL7I)?

 

 4. ** Ch-ch-ch-changes**

By now you probably noticed that the kick-off filters are no longer available (i.
e. you can _no longer_ puke rainbows #sadface). While most us are disappointed that
some filters come and go, you can bet Snapchat is always busy adding in new (dare
I say _better_?) lenses.

 

**September 15**

**September 23**

 

It’s important to recognize that the main reason Snapchat is continuously adding
and removing these new video filters is so users are constantly engaged and better
yet, **still** talking about the update.

The popular four-year-old app is showing _no signs_ of suffering from the **[Words With Friends](http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/02/14/words-with-friends-im-breaking-up-with-you-heres-why/)**
syndrome. Continuing to innovate the social media sphere, Snapchat continues to 
dominate the [world](http://chatterblast.wpengine.com/blog/snapchat-has-conquered-the-world/).
