"Send Snappables to invite viewers to play along! They can add themselves to this Snap, see who else is in it, and save or share it with others.

This commitment was also reinforced by the introduction of Group Video Chat on the platform for up to 16 people! That is some serious improvement over Instagram who offers Live Video Guests and is rumored to be working on Calling and Video Calling capabilities on Instagram Direct Messenger.

Snapchat introduced the same back in 2016 and claim that calling on Snapchat has been a successful introduction.

The company also unveiled another new update that allows users to tag their friends on their Snaps using @ and their Snap account name, something that has been available on Instagram for a while now.

Overall with Group Video Chat, @mentions and Snappables, Snapchat appears to have a few tricks up their sleeve which could help them slowly, but surely breach the 200m user mark this year.
