2016-04-22
you can now face swap with your own face thanks for the nightmares snapchat I'm Bridget Carey this is your cnet update the face swapping trend has a new twist on snapchat you can now face walk with any existing image in your phone's camera roll you used to need to have your friend nearby to do the effect in person but now it can be any photo you saved as long as it looks like a face it can be even an animal or a cartoon but I must warn you face swapping with your own selfie is the stuff of nightmares perhaps face swapping with yourself as a sign that the trend is dead but snapchat did actually kills something else paid replace every snap you get can be replayed once but you can no longer buy extra replace for a dollar it appears snapchat wants to focus on making money through advertisements and other content deals so what sort of content you ask well MTV is now bringing back its old show cribs just for snapchat that's according to a report from variety the show MTV Cribs launched in two thousand and it gave viewers a tour of celebrity homes this new snapchat version of the show will do the same it launches in June and it airs once a week now there are actually a few other shows being made just for mobile apps some original content is hitting verizon's go 90 streaming TV app there's one comedy called replay it's about an aspiring DJ that goes through the same day over and over again it's similar to Groundhog Day and there's a show on go 90 called relationship status the show explores modern love and each episode is 11 minutes long but if you rather not get your television from a chat app designed for Millennials you can still find a show on the old-fashioned live TV but Google helps you find it in a new way if you search for a show on google it will pull up listings of when the show is airing and on what channels you can find it it also will tell you which streaming services offer the shows you may not see it right away it is coming soon that's all for this technique is round up and you can head to cnet.com for the latest and follow me on twitter from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey hahaha
