Happy Election Day! Snap's Spectacles are live
On Tuesday, the United States may elect its first female president. The world is also one giant step closer to Snap's Spectacles.
Hidden with an app update released Tuesday is support for Spectacles. The page is available in the list of features under "My Account." Right below Memories, you'll see Spectacles.
The page reads, "Spectacles are sunglasses that Snap! Learn more about Spectacles here," and directs to the website Spectacles.com, which still reads that the devices are "landing soon."
