Snapchat Adds Voice, Video Calling to Messaging App

Bloomberg: Snapchat has released an update that steps up competition with Facebook, owner of rival mobile communication services Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp. Snapchat bolstered its chat function with multimedia features including voice and video calling and digital stickers. Called Chat 2.0, the feature emulates “face-to-face communication,” while making it easier to switch between video chatting, texting and calling.
