Snapchat Finally Launches Tagging Features

Despite the backlash towards the company from the new update, many users will be extremely happy to find out that Snapchat is now allowing some users to tag their friends in stories.

Once a person is tagged, users can swipe up to view their Bitmoji, and add them. For influencers trying to gain a larger following, this is music to their ears. Although it's worth noting that this feature isn't available for everyone right now, it will be rolled out to the general population over the coming weeks.

This is gonna be awesome.
