Despite Facebook’s best efforts to completely take over the social media industry, Snapchat is still standing strong. This is thanks to the fact that Snapchat’s developers are always coming up with innovative ideas that are taking the app’s performances and user experience to the next level. This is why you will often see Instagram directly “borrowing” features from Snapchat in order to keep up.
While the camera filters might be nice, what truly makes Snapchat stand out is the software stability that it offers. The app never crashes or lags and the reason behind this is Snapchat’s developers are constantly updating the app with software improvements and bug fixes. In fact, a brand-new update has just arrived and today we are going to present everything there is to know about it.
Snapchat 10.70.0.0 Update
If you enjoy using Snapchat to send funny pictures or videos to your friends and family members, then you should make sure to keep your smartphone connected to a stable Wi-Fi network throughout the day so that you can be among the first ones to receive access to the latest 10.70.0.0 update.
The new update for Snapchat is rolling out via OTA (over the air) but it can also be manually downloaded in the form of APK. For the uninitiated, APK stands for “Android Package Kit” and this type of update can only be installed on smartphones that have the “Unknown Sources” option enabled.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
As previously mentioned, Snapchat never lags or randomly crashes. This why it should come as no surprise that the new 10.70.0.0 update introduces a handful of bug fixes and improvements that have been specially designed to take the software stability of the app to the next level.
We also want to mention that the new update for Snapchat comes with a bundle of “under the hood tweaks”. These tweaks are important and despite Snapchat fans not being able to see them as they would with a new feature, they are certainly going to feel them because the app is going to run much smoother than usual.
