      Snapchat unveils a game that you play with your face

      Along with new festive holiday lenses for Christmas, Snapchat has also released a new lens that lets you play a game with your face. The game, which is featured within the app, is called Santa's Helper. In it, your face is placed on an elf's body as you try to slide down a snowy slope, collecting presents and ornaments, and dodging bunny rabbits that'll try to punch you. SEE ALSO: Snapchat's gift to you this Christmas: more filters and lenses And here's the coolest part: you control your elf by turning your head left and right. via GIPHY What does this new lens-based game mean for Snapchat? Is Snap getting serious about gaming? Though <em>TechCrunch</em> <em> </em>suggested Santa's Helper is <em>"</em>the launch of a new, native games feature," the game is unlikely to become the next <em>Pokémon Go.</em> This isn't the first time Snapchat's experimented with a bit of in-app interactivity. In October, Snapchat had a lens that let a user bounce a ball on their head. Earlier this month, a lens transformed  faces into puzzles.   Publishers and advertisers also have contributed games to the app. During the U.S. Open, ESPN's Snapchat Discover channel featured a tennis game within a Gatorade ad. Another native game appeared on ESPN's Snapchat Discover during a recent football game: @ESPN has a sick Snapchat ad that's actually an interactive game going rn pic.twitter.com/iMYzaC3A6z — Kerry Flynn  (@kerrymflynn) December 19, 2016 Snap declined to comment on why the company has introduced gaming and what it could add in the future.  But recent job postings point to further development of the app's lenses and other augmented reality features. Snap seeks to hire people with experience in 3D design, animation, modeling, rigging and skinning experience. Snap's expansion comes after a big year for the company and ahead of its highly-anticipated public offering. <em>Kerry Flynn contributed to this report. </em> BONUS: You can swap Snap Spectacle lenses - here's how

      Sofia Richie Taken To Hospital Before Her 18th Birthday

      Poor Sofia Richie! The daughter of Lionel Richie and Diana Alexander Richie probably wanted to party All Night Long in celebration of her milestone birthday, but sadly she suffered another setback. It’s safe to say that Justin Bieber’s girlfriend hasn’t been having the best time of it lately, and it looked like the teen – who is celebrating her 18th birthday today (Aug 24) – was set for another disappointing delay. Richie took to Snapchat last night (Aug 23) to reveal that she had been forced to visit hospital just hours before her special day.

      Justin Bieber DELETES Instagram Account After Backlash Over New Girlfriend

      All aboard the internet drama express! Justin Bieber has deleted his Instagram account days after threatening to quit the social media site over abuse directed at his new girlfriend Sofia Richie. This comes after Justin, 22, threatened fans with privatising his account after receiving “hate” filled messages, which then lead on to a bizarre war of words between the Canadian and his ex-girlfriend Selena, 24. The former Disney star wasn’t a fan of JB’s attitude towards his fans and let him know in the comments, but this soon escalated into a Ping-Pong match of insults, with Justin claiming that the Good For You singer used him for fame.

      Snapchat’s New Memories Feature Lets You Save Pics To Upload Later

      Snapchat has unveiled a new section called Memories, which automatically stores photos, videos and ‘Stories’ for users to send later on. Until now, users could only upload Snaps just after they were taken or save them to their phone’s camera roll and re-share them with Snapchat later on. Memories stores all of the user’s posts, enabling them to look back through them much more easily, by swiping up from the camera.
