Snapchats are no longer as ephemeral as before.

The option will be available in the app for the Snap creator. Snap also added a looping feature, which allows the video creators to loop the video, repeating it, until the viewer closes it or moves on to the next part of the Snap story. Shares of Snap were up 2% midday Tuesday. Snap reports first-quarter earnings Wednesday.
