Skype is taking some inspiration from Snapchat and making its video message feature a little more fun with the addition of filters.

The new filters, available in Skype for Android, iPhone, and iPad, let you add balloons to your video messages, change the appearance of your face to make it look rounder or longer, or go color negative to spook out your friends. The update follows Snapchat's rainbow vomiting feature, which is now thankfully dunzo.

To check out the new Skype filters, just tap the little wand at the bottom left of the video message window. This will let you preview the filters; when you find one you like, press the record button like usual and say what you want.

Meanwhile, if you have the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the latest version of Skype for iPhone adds support for 3D Touch. Hold down the Skype icon on your home screen to quickly start a call or chat, or access to your contacts. And once you're in the app, you can force touch a recent conversation to quickly view the latest IMs or pop the convo into the foreground. While in a convo, if someone sends you their location information, a photo, URL, or contact, just force touch it to preview.

Finally, you can also now hide and delete chats from your recent conversations on iPhone and iPad by swiping the contact or tapping Edit as well as delete your entire chat history and share Skype contacts from within a conversation.

Meanwhile, speaking of Snapchat, the self-destructing message app got an update of its own this week, according to TechCrunch. You can now modify the speed of your videos, slowing down, speeding up, or rewinding the action. For more, check out 11 Ways to Step Up Your Snapchat Game.
