Snapchat 2.0 was released this week and it’s by far one of the biggest updates we’ve seen in 2016.

The social network unloaded half a dozen new features to make its app more useful. Two of the biggest updates include the ability to send video calls and audio calls.

“We’re excited to introduce Chat 2.0. You can start by sending a few chats, and when your friend shows up, start talking or video chatting instantly with one tap,” said a statement released on the company’s blog.

“Your friend can simply listen if you want to sing them a song, or watch if you have a new puppy to show them. If they aren’t there, you can quickly send an audio note to say what you mean. And sometimes, a sticker says it best.”
