It seems we can no longer ignore the thousandth software update message which crops up on our screen, as WhatsApp has launched a whole new feature.

Inspired by one of our favourite apps, Snapchat, the messaging giant has revealed a tool enabling users to now add emojis, text and doodles over both photos and videos. Sound familiar?

Following the success of Instagram stories, the latest feature is destined to be a sure-fire hit.

The Facebook-owned messaging service has also introduced a second similar snapchat-style feature, as users can also take photographs with a front-facing flash. Perfect if you aren’t prepared to sacrifice your early night in with Netflix just to reply to your friend’s message.

The feature is already available to download for Android users and they will be rolling out a version for iPhones very shortly so make sure to keep any eye out…
