Facebook Rolls Out Photo Editing Tools Similar to Snapchat

Facebook has added Snapchat-like photo filter features to its iOS app that allow users to customize images with text, filters and stickers on their Facebook profiles. “A Facebook spokesperson told The Verge that the company was rolling out the features as ‘a new place to house photo-editing tools,’ accessed by pressing the new icon in the lower left-hand corner of your chosen photo.” After Facebook failed to acquire Snapchat in 2013 for $3 billion, the social giant attempted to duplicate the popular service with Poke and Slingshot, but they proved less than popular. The new photo uploader, also being tested on Android, aims to leverage the growing popularity of editing features available on social media.
