Facebook Slingshot App Now Lets You Choose Whether to Sling a Photo or Video as Locked or Unlocked

Facebook has updated its Slingshot app. After shooting a photo or video, now you can choose whether to sling it as a locked or unlocked shot.

Shoot a photo or video of what you’re up to and sling it to a bunch of friends. You can choose whether to make your shot locked or unlocked. If you sling a locked shot, friends won’t be able to see it until they sling something to you. Tap on a shot to react, or simply swipe it away.

Features:
• Keep up with friends: Sling a shot whenever you have something to share
• Send a quick reply: Respond to any shot with your reaction
• Enjoy it while it lasts: Once you swipe a shot away, it’ll no longer be viewable
• Get creative: Express yourself with captions and drawings
• Look when you want: View shots later if you’re busy

What's New In This Version:
• Sling a shot to see a shot? Not necessarily! After shooting a photo or video, now you can choose whether to sling it as a locked or unlocked shot
• More bug fixes


You can download Slingshot from the App Store for free.
