Snachat Update Brings Two New features Chat and Here Live Video Calls
This week the ephemeral photo sharing service Snapchat saw a major update for its iOS app, which brought a new text messaging feature called “Chat,” and live video chat feature called "Here."
The new Chat feature in the app allows you to swipe right on a friend’s name in your Snapchat inbox to start text messaging, as messages in the chat screen are cleared upon leaving the window. In the conversation, you can start the live vedio chat by tapping and holding on the blue photo button. You can also switch between the front facing and rear facing camera using swipe up/down gesture respectively.
Snapchat’s last update was issued in October 2013 which brought a new "Snapchat Stories" news feed feature, and in late 2013 the company reportedly turned down a $4 billion acquisition offer from Google and a $3 billion offer from Facebook. The app in the past few months was know a security breach last December compromised the user names and phone numbers of more than 4.6 million customers.

iOS 7 0 4 Activity Ramping Up at Apple Ahead of Next Minor Software Update
Apple unsurprisingly appears to be ramping up activity on iOS 7.0.4 as the next version of iOS to see a release to the public, with MacRumors seeing increasing numbers of devices running iOS 7.0.4 from Apples networks showing up in web logs.
As we previously noted, iOS 7.1 devices from Apples network began showing up in our logs in late August, and while visits from those devices increased during October, they have declined somewhat during the first week of November. iOS 7.1 would be expected to bring a more substantial number of updates, but it appears that a public launch may yet be some time off with Apple working on a smaller iOS 7.0.4 release.
iOS 8 continues to show very low levels of activity in our logs, with the next major version of Apples iOS software undoubtedly still in the very early stages of development and a public release roughly a year in the future.

The big surprise on the list is undoubtedly the Galaxy Note 2. This second generation phablet from the Note series was in September 2012 on the market and generally supporting software to Samsung does not go beyond two years or two major updates. Should the information prove to be correct, then we can only applaud this change. In addition to the Note 2 may also Note 3 and Galaxy Note 4 users in 2015 expect the update, but it’s hard to call new information.
In addition, the Galaxy Mini S5 turn yet, while the Galaxy S5 in some countries already have been updated to Android 5.0. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy S4 are also on the list.
When the update for the above Samsung smartphones will be released exactly is still unclear. Normally receive the more expensive and newer devices first update and only then follow the older models, including the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4.
