Major Key Alert: Snapchat is expanding its video and picture features to compete with popular messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

The developers at Snapprefs, a group that helps users add extra features to the app via the Xposed framework, say Snapchat’s coding includes updates that will support video and audio calling, as well as stickers for messages.

Snapprefs leaked screenshots showing the hidden “ChatV2” screens and a new messaging platform.

Since experimenting with in-app selfie lenses in 2015, Snapchat has been trying to find ways to increase revenue. With the addition of these features, users will be able to send pictures, video chat and text all without having to switch to a competing app.

That means even more access to DJ Khaled’s words of wisdom.
