Social media has its pros and cons. It allows us to stay connected with our friends and family in a fun manner. It allows us to make new friends with similar interests. It helps keep us informed and lets us share issues that are important to us with others. There is a dark side to social media as well. It makes it easy to compare ourselves with others and become either depressed or jealous, and it is easy to spread misinformation on social media. Filters and editing make it simple to fake on social media.  A new social media platform, BeReal, is working to change some of the more negative aspects of the medium. As often happens in the tech world, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat quickly worked to copy BeReal on their own platforms. Imitation is the highest form of flattery after all. Before we get into all that, let’s take a look at BeReal and its features. BeReal’s origins maybe what we all just wanted was an app to see photos of your friends 🤷‍♀️— BeReal.

Home News (Image credit: Samsung) Samsung got into bed with Snapchat last year when it integrated Snap’s AR Lenses into the Galaxy A-series camera app and called the service ‘Fun Mode’. It looks to have been an excellent strategic decision, as Samsung has now revealed that Fun Mode has been used over 2.5 billion times. For those who’ve never experienced Fun Mode, it allows Galaxy A series users to take pictures and videos from the proprietary camera app, applying playful, quirky lenses to create any moment into a fun and unique content – perfect for sharing laugh with friends and as fun social media content. Fun Mode is powered by Snap’s Camera Kit, allowing businesses and developers to bring the power of Snap’s augmented reality into their own applications. This AR mode was initially available on Galaxy A-series phones and has since expanded to Galaxy F and M series models.Localized AR experiencesIn order to offer users around the world more engaging and localized experiences, Samsung and Snap have been working to offer region-specific AR Lenses. In 2021, they launched region-specific AR Lenses in India, and since then have expanded to other countries including Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippines and Mexico, with more…

September 17, 2022 BY JENNIFER CABRERA GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Shawn Radell Nunn, Jr., 20, was arrested yesterday and charged with three counts of sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation on a victim under 16. The victim told Alachua County Sheriff’s Officer on March 2, 2022, that she had been a victim of sexual battery. She said she had met a man named “Shawn” on Snapchat but didn’t know his last name. She gave detectives some possibilities for last names, and after detectives did some research, they found Nunn, who resembled a photo provided by the victim.

At approximately 11:26 a.m. this morning (Friday, Sept. 16, 2022), the Clackamas High School Resource Officer (SRO) alerted dispatch to a Snapchat video depicting a student holding what appeared to be a firearm in a restroom at Clackamas High. Deputies responded. The first unit arrived on scene approximately 2 minutes later. Deputies worked with school officials to locate and detain two of the students seen in the Snapchat video. Deputies learned of a third possibly involved outstanding student, and Clackamas High was placed in lockdown. Deputies worked with school officials to locate the third student and took the juvenile into custody. Deputies also recovered a realistic-looking CO2-powered replica pistol. The investigation is ongoing. The lockdown was lifted, and there is no threat to Clackamas High students at this time. The Sheriff’s Office is seeking additional information in this case.

A purported threat at West End High School in Walnut Grove that sent angry parents to social media complaining that they weren’t sufficiently notified about it was a hoax, authorities said Thursday. A joint statement from Etowah County Sheriff Jonathon Horton and Etowah County Schools Superintendent Dr. Alan Cosby said screen shots from a Snapchat account that have been shared on social media, containing the threat, were faked. Investigators following up on leads in an earlier but unrelated case obtained a confession Wednesday from a different juvenile, who they say confessed to making that post, then sharing it with an adult for the promise of money. The statement said that juvenile is “being handled in the juvenile court system.” The investigation is ongoing and more charges are possible. West End High School:Etowah sheriff, school system investigating reported threat to West End High SchoolA verbal threat authorities say was made by another student was reported on Sept 8, and West End faculty alerted an Etowah County deputy who was on duty as a school resource officer.

In mid-July, Snapchat announced with great fanfare the launch of its web app, which marked the platform’s first foray beyond the mobile environment. At that time, the ability to browse, post, or interact with the app’s communication tools from a desktop device was released as exclusive to paying subscribers. Today this has changed. This Thursday, the social network announced that Snapchat for the web will be available to all users of the service worldwide with various messaging, video chat and filter functions. Without a doubt, it is an extension that could improve the experience for many users who favor the use of social networks from larger screens accompanied by a physical keyboard that can make writing easier on many occasions. Snapchat web is characterized by a basic interface, where although we don’t have all the tools, resources and functions that we can have in the mobile version, we can make audio and video calls as well as send photos with some filters. In relation to the demand that this new version of Snapchat has in the following months, it is possible that the platform will add new functions; however, for now a bet seems clear. Snapchat and its commitment to…

All for free via the widely-lauded messaging platform on the web and outside of the app.The change also means that any user can now fire up the web app and utilize a full keyboard instead of an on-screen keyboard for their chats.

However, that will depend largely on how much demand is there for those features.In the interim, mobile apps associated with Snapchat are getting other…
