Snapchat has a hidden Valentine's Day Easter egg
It's Valentine's Day, and that means one thing: the whole world has been plastered with love hearts. Literally.
If you look at Snap Maps on V-Day, you'll notice that it's looking a little different than usual.
Cast your eye at the Snap Map and you'll see that it's been bedecked with swan boats, heart-shaped trees, and love hearts. Oh, and your map also happens to be a rather cheerful shade of pink.

Hinge — popular choice for regular meetups
Actionmojis are looking a little different, too. These versions of your Bitmoji can tell your Snapchat buddies what you're up to, if you happen to be sleeping or travelling, among other things.
But today, if you happen to be close to your Snap pals, or even your one true love, on your map, then your Actionmoji will show you sitting together around a heart-shaped pizza or flowers. And, if you're on a plane, you'll show up in a hot air balloon on the map.
For those going all out on V Day, there's a new Valentine's-themed sticker pack and a load of animated filters to make your snaps look extra romantic.
Snapchatters will also notice a new Valentine’s-themed Sticker pack and a variety of animated Stickers and Filters to decorate their Snaps and send to friends, or add to their Story.
Happy V Day one and all!
