Ever since Snapchat became one of the big players in the social media world, Facebook has done it’s best to stay ahead of their highly successful competitor.

The app lets you overlay animated filters on one’s face (sounds familiar) from Leonardo DiCaprio to a very creepy monkey. The startup announced in a blog post, “Now, we’re excited to join forces with Facebook and bring the technology to even more people. Within Facebook, we’re going to be able to reach people at a scale like never before.”

Then there was Slingshot in 2014, which has the same concept as Snapchat but users needed to first “sling” a picture back in order to open an incoming one.
The battle is on between these two social media networks, who will make the next move?
