If you opened Snapchat on Tuesday and noticed that things look a little different, you're not losing your mind.

Snapchat updated its font on the iOS app, which now appears throughout the app -- though not in photo captions or on Snapchat Discover.

The new font is smaller and many have said it looks like like the font used in its Android app.

Though the change may be a subtle one, people were quick to notice (and/or complain).

Really snapchat? A whole update just so you could switch to a more sans-serif font? pic.twitter.com/YFibzVAlUA— Sarah DeYonge (@sarahanernaner5) March 8, 2016

The update also included some navigational tweaks to the Stories section of Snapchat. Now, when you scroll through your Stories quickly, the app will show how long ago they were posted (in the recent updates section) or where they fall alphabetically (in the all Stories section). Previously, the app let you navigate between stories with an alphabetic scroll bar in the right-hand side of the screen.
