Facebook has been one of the most installed applications in mobile phones and other internet devices regardless of whether the device is owned by a millennial or not. People of all ages started to use Facebook to connect with peers and relatives from any area around the world. 

Due to the existence of numerous applications which have made the transfer of communication faster and more efficient, Facebook overhauls to ensure that they are still on track with the latest trends. 

It is over the Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp and other social media networking sites where you can see the photos captured through the built-in camera of SnapChat. A lot of people got crazy over the daily updated filters and emoticons of the said mobile application. 

More than just a platform of sharing stories to the rest of your friends and connections over the internet, it is also the primary goal of Facebook to entertain its members. They have featured online games where friends can battle online, and also offline games which can also be connected when they have gotten a good internet connection. So far, the most notable games on Facebook are Candy Crush Saga, The Tetris Battle, and the Clash of Clans. 

But more than that, they have augmented the performance and features of Facebook by getting almost the same idea that was pioneered by Snapchat--making more goofy selfies by installing an augmented reality safety feature that is already built in with the Facebook application.

According to Chris Cox, one of the chief producers of Facebook, the release of the new update on the Facebook app is a form of response to the trend in social media in these days--that is posting more selfies and videos that sharing their stories word by word. 

In addition, he said that they have been working on it for a really long time, and so his whole team is really excited about the release of the said update. 

"It's an area of work we're really invested in, which is making it easy for the camera to be an early application of AR," said Chris Cox in his interview with The Wall Street Journal.
