Snapchat Bringing iOS 16 Lock Screen Widgets, Chat Shortcuts, And More

Snapchat is the latest app to add support for iOS 16 Lock Screen widgets. The company has been known to continually find new ways to make the user base engaged and will release the full set of iOS 16 features by the fall of this year. Through the new Lock Screen widget, Snapchat users will be able to communicate with their friends right from the lock screen.

Additionally, Snapchat is adding Chat Shortcuts to the top of the chat tab to make it simple to see unread Snaps, friend conversations, missed calls, or story responses. Additionally, the company is working on making Snapchat for Web available to all users, which is currently only available to Snapchat+ members. It is also developing a new feature called Question Stickers, which is similar to Instagram Stories.

This will be Snap’s largest update since the debut of Snapchat+ a few months ago. It is a premium membership that has a large user base, with 1 million users as of last month. Priority Story Replies, Post View Emoji, New Bitmoji Backgrounds, and access to New App Icons (Designer Snapchat icon) are just a few of the cool features that come with Snapchat+.

The company will bring these features to all users in the coming weeks and is advising its user base to keep the app constantly updated.
