Despite the difficulties the company is now facing, I still hold Snapchat in higher regard than platforms like Facebook and Instagram. In my opinion, Snapchat is one of the most inventive social media companies, if not the most so. Over the past few years, the app that began as a straightforward tool for sharing images with your pals has undergone significant change. In reality, Snapchat was the first social media network to introduce the majority of the modern features that we now see on other platforms, after which others aped them.
It can be challenging to keep up with all of the features that Snapchat has introduced over the years because the company releases new features so regularly. We wrote this article to address the issue that there is no single location where users can locate these updates and new features. So that you don’t have to search the web, we’ll detail every update and modification Snapchat made in this page.
Note:If a changelog appears in many versions, it signifies that the new versions have added bug fixes and enhancements to improve how the features are implemented. It also indicates that none of the updates included any new features.

How to Join Snapchat Beta
You can see that Snpachat makes updates fairly frequently. Even if the majority of these updates are bug fixes, it’s still preferable to get the updates as soon as possible. Having said that, joining Snapchat’s beta programme is one way to access the new features if you can’t wait.
But wait until you sign up for Snapchat’s beta programme. You should be aware that every beta programme contains flaws. If you do choose to participate in the beta programme, it is rather simple. On your Android device, simply open the app and navigate to Settings. Here, select the Snapchat Beta menu item located in the Advanced sub-menu. In order to join the beta programme, simply touch the Count me in button. You can leave the beta at any moment by going through the same procedure as you did to join. As illustrated in the image below, the join button will be replaced by an opt-out button.
