Facebook's WhatsApp is latest to add Snapchat-like features

San Francisco

NOW there's another Facebook Inc app making features that mimic Snapchat.

WhatsApp, the chat application owned by Facebook and used monthly by 1.2 billion people, is adding a built-in camera to let people take photos or videos, and send them directly to their contacts or add them to a "status" update - similar to Snapchat's "stories" feature.
