Snapchat Adds Emoji Polls, Bitmoji Reactions To Direct Messaging

Snapchat has unveiled four new messaging features that it says seek to make chatting with friends “more fun and expressive” – all of which are rolling out on Android and iOS in coming days. New features include:

• Emoji-powered poll stickers – which can be added to both Snaps and Stories to survey friends on their thoughts about a particular question.
• Bitmoji Reactions – users can choose from one of seven personalized Bitmojis to respond to any message.
• Chat Reply feature – enables users in a group chat to respond to individual messages by holding down on a message to start a thread.
