It was reported that Facebook tried — and failed — to buy Snapchat for $3 billion in 2013, but since then, the world’s biggest social network seems to have decided instead to simply adopt some of the app’s best features.
First it released Facebook Slingshot, a messaging app that let you annotate Snapchat-a-like images with colorful drawings and text, before sending them to friends. Now it’s brought similar features to its iOS app, allowing users to add text, filters, and stickers to photos they upload to their Facebook profiles.
