Snapchat is starting to gain more and more popularity and Facebook is starting to incorporate some of its features. A new Facebook iOS update allows users to make photos quirkier and Snapchat-like.

A few months ago, Facebook started incorporating filters and stickers into its photo uploader but is now upping the ante with more editing options. On top of the filters and stickers that have been in the Facebook mobile application since February, users can now overlay text and even emojis. When uploading photos, Facebook app users can now see an editing button that will allow them to crop photos, apply filters, place text, emojis and other stickers on the photo. The size of the text, emoji, and stickers may also be adjusted, as explained by TechCrunch.

How to use the feature? Simple. From your Facebook mobile app, upload any photo. An animated edit button will appear at the bottom-left corner, which when clicked, will bring out a tray with the different options available for the user to personalize the picture. MacWorld cites seven filters that are available to users: the four seasons, vintage, black-and-white, and auto-enhance.

A Facebook representative explains the update, "People want to be creative when they share experiences with their friends and family on Facebook. We are rolling out a new place to house all of Facebook's photo-editing tools, making it even easier to add filters, stickers, or text to your photos."

This is an extremely impressive move by Facebook, especially since Snapchat has been popular for the providing users the same features -- swipeable filters and emojis plus stickers on photos. Even Line, the Japanese messaging app, has acquired massive users because of its cute stickers.

The Snapchat-ified Facebook photo uploader is currently being tested on Android devices and may soon hit Google's Play Store.

It may be remembered that Facebook Labs tried and failed to acquire Snapchat in 2013 for $3 billion.
