on snapchat it's rain and emoji I'm Bridget Carey this is your CNET update the quirky messaging app snapchat has added new ways to use emoji in your video and photos and it updated the app to be less of a data drain when you're traveling so first up you can now stick as many emoji icons as you want all over your photo or video post you are now free to go a moji crazy click the new icon on top to select your emoji you can resize them like usual for text or drag it up to the trash can to delete before you can only add emoji inside of a string of text and now they're more like stickers separate from text if you find snapchat to be a huge drain on your mobile data plan there's now a setting called travel mode in your settings click on manage under additional services and you can turn on travel mode to disable it from auto loading content when you're not on Wi-Fi that way you can pick and choose what you want to load instead of it trying to read everything this is for both iOS and Android for the next update you can expect to see something about trophies for about a day there was this fluke or snapchat had this page for trophies that you can collect almost like game achievements I missed it but a few screenshots taken by the next web and Business Insider do show the future before it was removed now if you download the app now you won't see it probably because it wasn't ready to be launched yet snapchat says it has a hundred million users a day and 65 percent of those people are posting a video or photo on their accounts every day comscore data backs up what we already know that the app is very popular with a younger demographic so you can expect snapchat to be a big part of the social media campaigns for the u.s. presidential candidates because they have to try to look cool to win the vote of the young people yo Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton announced her snapchat account over the weekend it has a ghostie pantsuit icon that you can scan to see her posts like this one of her about to talk to a crowd how exciting her username is Hillary Clinton as one word she's one of the latest to join but there are plenty of other social snappers on the Republican side such as Senator Rand Paul who already posted three ads on snapchat his username is Senator Rand Paul and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is on there too as Christie dot 2016 you see they're all posting videos and photos that disappear within 24 hours but it's not easy to search and find these candidates you have to know their exact username on snapchat in order to add them others with accounts include Carly Fiorina Lindsey Graham Martin O'Malley Rick Perry and Marco Rubio for the generation in the 90s reaching young voters was about going on MTV then came YouTube now it's snapchat and periscope that's it for this tech news update and there's more news for you to snap up at cnet.com from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey
