In addition to letting you add a bunch of emoji to your snaps, it also lets you enable Travel Mode, which cuts down on data usage by letting you manually load people's snaps. And it makes it easier to see who's looking at your Snapchat Stories.

But according to The Next Web, there's another new feature in today's Snapchat update that the company didn't announce. And it doesn't seem to be fully functional yet.

It's called Trophy Case. You access it by going to your profile and tapping the "up" arrow.

One reward we were shown is "send 10 snaps with the front-facing flash on."

Some users have already found the Trophy Case feature and seem confused by it.

 

Our best guess is that Trophy Case is where you'll be shown your achievements on Snapchat. It could potentially gamify the app - though arguably, Snapchat has already done that by giving you a Snapchat score and assigning different emoji to represent your Snapchat relationships with other users.

 We've reached out to Snapchat for clarification on the new feature.
