Facebook to take on Snapchat with a new app
Facebook to take on Snapchat with a new app
Facebook's competing app is said to be launched in the coming weeks, sometime before the end of the year.

New Delhi: Facebook is all set to contend against the photo sharing service Snapchat that allows users to send impermanent photo messages to one another. Your chat partner can view the photo for an alloted amount of time.

According to a report from AllThingsD, the social networking giant is testing its built-in-house version of a Snapchat-like app.

It further says that Facebook plans to launch the app in the coming weeks, sometime before the end of the year. However, AllThingsD does not have any information about the name of the app.

"After a user opens the new app, they're presented with a list of their current message threads between them and their friends. Hold your finger down on one of the threads, and a timer comes up to ask how long the message should be viewable. From there, you're able to send the message which, just like on Snapchat, will only be viewable for a fixed period of time," said AllThingsD.

What's your reaction?
