Snapchat has added food and wine label recognition to its visual app.
These functions are similar to those found instandalone food and wine applications. The user needs to point the camera at the barcode, and Snapchat will display some key details of the product, as well as an analysis of its relative health benefits (this information is provided by a third-party app called Yuka). Users can also scan a wine bottle label and get pricing, rating, and food compatibility notes.
Snapchat has been increasing the number ofcamera search functions. Users can now identify plants and dog breeds, solve mathematical equations, and view Amazon products and music in Shazam. The creators of these features explain that they may not seem like the most essential, but Snapchat's scanning capabilities are an attempt to make the camera useful and build an augmented reality platform around it in the future.
Previously, more than a million Snapchat usersregistered for the US presidential election through the application. Most will be voting for the first time. The popular app, known for its features like disappearing messages and face filters, said 56% of users it helped register to vote were voting for the first time. Moreover, almost 65% of them indicated that they were between 18 and 24 years old.
