Slingshot is the quickest way to share moments with your friends. Just drag your finger down to reveal the camera, then release to instantly capture the picture and send it off. Your screen will fill up with slingshots your friends have sent you, and can be viewed just by tapping each bubble. Bubbles are open for a default of six seconds, and "pop" once closed. Have fun, and happy Slingshotting!
