One of the things that makes Snapchat such a popular app is the tens of innovative features that it has to offer. Snapchat’s developers are so innovative when it comes to creating new features that their competitors such as Instagram don’t have any other option than to copy the features.
To make things even better, Snapchat is updated on a daily basis with software improvements that are taking its performances to the next level. In fact, a new update has been released earlier this morning and today we are going to cover everything there is to know about it.
Snapchat 10.72.5.0 Update
As previously noted, Snapchat is updated on a regular basis. This is why it shouldn’t come as a surprise that fans of the social media app are now in store for a new update that sports the 10.72.5.0 version number.
The update is being released via the app’s official over the air channels and therefore, all Snapchat fans who will keep their smartphones connected to a stable Wi-Fi network throughout the day are eligible to access the update and all the improvements that it brings.
Under the Hood Software Tweaks
Even though Snapchat’s developers are usually introducing new features in every latest update that they release, this is not the case for the one that is making headlines today. However, Snapchat fans shouldn’t be disappointed by that because the update makes up for the lack of features by focusing on improving the app’s overall performances.
Instead of introducing new and exciting features, the latest update for Snapchat comes with a handful of under the hood software tweaks. These software tweaks are optimizing Snapchat’s performances and thus, they are making the app run much faster than usual.
To make things even better, the update is also equipped with a bunch of bug fixes that are tackling various issues which sometimes caused the app to lag. Fortunately, this is not going to happen anymore.
