Photo sharing has recently became almost a competitive idea rather than a fun outlet to share memories. Between all of the new apps that have come out and the constant upgrades to cell phone cameras, taking photos has stopped being a hobby and turned into a war. Who can take better pictures, which is better edited, and who can get the most likes?

 

Snapchat has showed up on the scene with playful filters that can transform you into a puppy, a fish, and many other things depending on the day and if there is any special events or holidays going on.  You can send messages, videos, and playful emojis that snapchat has called “stickers.” With the company of someone else you can use the face swap feature which transforms you into the other person using the facial features of both people.

 

Instagram is notorious for having high quality photos, captions that rhyme, and people who endorse products and goods that bring in money to the owner of the page. Instagrams new feature livestream which lets you record what's going on in your life at the exact moment that it happens. A well known feature is Direct Message which is where you can personally talk to the owner of whatever page you are looking at.

Senior Leslie Andrade stated, “ I am a bigger fan of snapchat because of how unique it is. By allowing users to customize their profiles by using filters such as puppy dog, flower crowns, and others you can show people whatever mood you are in.” No matter which way you want your online profile to be, you can trust that there is a social media platform that will get your message out. From pictures to live videos, we are continuously growing as a technologically inclined society so who knows what will come of our online worlds in the future.
