Snapchat is testing three new features, Charms, Portrait Mode and Batch Capture Mode with a few redesigned arrangements.
Charms, is a new feature being tested, to provide astrological insight on you & your friendships on Snapchat. The insights include Elemental Horoscope, Astrological Sign, Birthstone & Birthday Twins.
Elemental Horoscope enlightens about a relation that you and your friend share, Astrological Sign tells your horoscope, Birthstone informs about the stone associated with you, Birthday Twins would notify you about who shares the same birthday as you or is close to yours. Charms provide a more personalized experience to a user.

The third feature being tested is Batch Capture, no official reports have risen but from the looks of it, it seems that Batch Capture would automatically save the pictures captured unlike before where you’d have to manually save the picture, the process of posting it on Stories or saving it on gallery or phone storage would remain the same.
You also have the option of disabling Batch Capture. However, unsaved Snaps would be lost.
