Snapchat ran its first TV commercial this past weekend. As you can see in the 60-second video above, the company is trying to sell itself to a wider audience as "A New Kind of Camera."

In its latest effort to stay competitive in the world of photo sharing, Snapchat has quietly released an interesting new feature: photo filters powered by image recognition.

Snapchat has been rolling out a continuous stream of new filters, but the latest ones are rather unusual. Following the trend of Snapchat working with augmented reality, the new additions will totally transform a boring blue sky into something far more dramatic.

Snap Inc’s experimental foray into wearables may not have had much of a financial impact for the struggling company, but they did create some buzz with their pop-up ‘Snapbot’ vending machines. Now they’ve made their Spectacles available directly on Amazon at the same $130 price.

Arguably Snapchat's most popular feature to date is their augmented reality 'selfie filters' that allow you to augment your face with bunny ears, vomit rainbows, and occasionally trample on someone's copyright. Now, in a move absolutely everyone saw coming, Instagram has copied the feature.

Snap Inc., the parent company of image and video sharing app Snapchat, reported their quarterly financial results for the first time since going public on Wednesday, and it isn’t pretty. Snap’s user growth slowed down and revenue was below Wall Street expectations for the quarter.

Just days after Instagram announced that they had reached a whopping 700 million users, PBS NewsHour headed over to Instagram Headquarters in Silicon Valley to have a chat with CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Systrom.

Snap's IPO is complete and the 5-year-old tech company behind Snapchat is now officially a publicly traded corporation. Shares in Snap have exploded nearly 50% in the stock's debut today, valuing the company at around $29 billion.

It's probably nowhere near the top of your photo gear wish list, but one of the "coolest" and most "in-demand" cameras in the world is finally available to purchase online: Snapchat's wearable Spectacles.

As Snap Inc., the company behind the ephemeral photo sharing app Snapchat, prepares for its Initial Public Offering (IPO), the company is filing papers that call out rival Instagram and reveal profitability may never be a part of Snapchat's future.

Snapchat is best known for being a social messaging app that has transformed the way people share photos. But its parent company, recently renamed to Snap Inc., has much loftier goals: it's aiming to become a juggernaut of a camera company.

I’ve had my Snapchat Spectacles for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed by the videos you can make with them.

In September 2016, Snapchat changed it’s name to Snap Inc. and introduced Spectacles, a pair of sunglasses with a built-in camera that records 10-second snippets of video and posts directly to your Snapchat Story.

Snapchat's new Spectacles camera glasses just went on sale today. Instead of offering them through an online store, however, Snapchat is selling them through pop-up "Snapbot" vending machines that show up in various locations for a single day.

Snapchat just upped the ante on acid trip-like augmented reality. In their latest update, the photo and video messaging app added something called 'World Lenses': basically animated filters that you can apply to the world around you the same way you could apply the app's 'Selfie Lenses' to your face.

Facebook will soon be updating its mobile app camera to include filter features popularized by apps such as Snapchat and Prisma.

Snapchat just unveiled camera sunglasses for capturing your daily life as your eyes see it. The Snapchat Spectacles are upcoming $130 shades that will compete against the likes of Google Glass.

Instagram just took a page from Snapchat's book by announcing Instagram Stories, a new feature that lets you share temporary slideshows with multiple photos and videos.
