Snapchat's new feature recognises objects, events and gives out filters accordingly

Snapchat has reportedly unveiled a new feature over the weekend which can recognise food, concerts, pets, beaches and sports. The new feature will also automatically recognise the objects and events when you take a snap and give you the right kind of filters for them when you try and edit the photos.[caption id="attachment_4099269" align="alignleft" width="380"] The Snapchat app logo.

In another report, a Snapchat spokesperson told MacRumors that the image processing was conducted locally inside the device and the software will be used to continuously improve the feature and accuracy of the device.[caption id="attachment_4231795" align="alignnone" width="450"] New Snapchat filters.
