Snapchat introduced four new messaging features, which will roll out to Snapchatters “in the coming days” on Android and iOS.

Chat Replies enable users to respond to individual messages in an ongoing chat by holding down on a message and tapping Reply, with Snap Inc. saying the new feature helps users keep conversations on track and communicate with context in heavily active group chats.

Snap introduced seven new Bitmoji Reactions to help people better share their emotions.

Emoji-powered Polls can now be added to Snaps and Stories, enabling Snapchatters to survey their friends for their thoughts.
