Snapchat's redesigned camera can 'scan' for GIFs and help you with math homework

Snapchat's camera is about to get a lot smarter.

The company unveiled new search features for its in-app camera, including the ability to search for GIFs and solve math equations. The new features were announced today at the company's first Partner Summit event in Los Angeles. 

As part of the update, Snap is rebranding all of its camera-based search features as "scan," including the existing Shazam and Amazon shopping functionality.

Other new search features announced today include:

• The ability to solve math problems, thanks to a new partnership with popular homework helper app Photomath

• The ability to find "contextually relevant" GIFs to match whatever you're recording in the camera (via Giphy)

• A new lens search feature that surfaces user-created lenses based on whatever you're snapping (e.g. a "scan" of your dog could turn up a dog-themed AR lens) Read more...
