Multi-Snap gives Snapchatters a bit more flexibility to tell their Story -- allowing them to record up to six consecutive, 10-second Snaps at once! No more guessing when to hit record on a key moment -- whether it’s the last few seconds of a championship game, or your favorite part of a song when karaoking with friends.

• Simply press and hold the capture button to begin recording a video Snap. Once the Snap reaches 10 seconds, continue holding the capture button to seamlessly record another Snap. Thumbnails of the Snaps (up to six) will appear at the bottom of the screen each time a 10-second video has been recorded.

• Once you’ve successfully captured the moment and are finished recording, you’ll be taken to the Preview Screen to decorate your Snaps with Creative Tools (e.g. Paperclip, Custom Stickers, Emoji Brush, etc.), which will apply to each Snap in the sequence.

• Additionally, it’s easy to delete any Snaps in the sequence - just drag it to the Trash!

• When posting to your Story or sending to a friend, each Snap sends individually, but in chronological order. Friends can watch or skip through the series of 10-second Snaps as usual.

• Multi-Snap is available today to Snapchatters on iOS globally, and will follow soon on Android.

Tint Brush is a fun new way for Snapchatters to add a new color to any object in their photo Snaps -- including their hair, shirts, the skyline and more!

• After taking a Snap, tap the Scissors in the Vertical Toolkit to find the new Tint Brush icon. Tint Brush appears alongside the icons for custom Stickers, Magic Eraser and Backdrops.

• Select any color of the rainbow, then trace the object or area that you’d like to “tint” a brand-new color!

• Tint Brush will roll out today to all Snapchatters on iOS and Android.
