You’re obsessed with it, your friends are obsessed with it, and yes, even your mom is obsessed with it. For the past few weeks it has completely taken the world by storm, and you can’t cruise social media without seeing it. No, it is not the “WHAT ARE THOSE” Vine, but rather something less outdated and irksome.

The new Snapchat update has provided a receptacle for yet another of the millennials’ fleeting fixations. With 8,796 snaps sent per second, it would be awfully improbable for you not to have seen at least one of Snapchat’s crafty new filters. From regurgitating rainbows, to screeching demon faces, you are now provided with the opportunity to transform into something you’ve always longed to be. If you are not familiar with the new Snapchat update and/or are living under a rock, let me bolster your technological knowledge!

Accessing Snapchat’s new filters is easy and user-friendly! Simply activate the front-facing camera, tap your face, keep your finger pressed, and voila! A panel of effects will appear at the bottom of the screen. The filters are updated on a daily basis, which provides for your continual amusement, as well as refreshing entertainment. The 2015 Snapchat update allows you to have fun, get creative, and most of all, get addicted so you can convince your friends to download the app, hence propelling Snapchat as yet another multi-billion dollar company. Keep snapping, Snapchatters!
