Whether you are new or an existing user, these tips will surely make you use Snapchat like a pro.
Replay Snaps
You have seen a story but want to replay it? Yes, you can see it again with the replay feature. This particular feature allows users to view a story that was previously viewed within 24 hours. All one has to do is tap on the snap and a notification will pop on the screen asking to replay the snap. But remember, this can be done only once in a day.
Live Video
Want to have a live video just like Facetime? Yes, you can surely have a live video chat on Snapchat.
When two users are active on chat messages, the yellow button on the screen will turn blue. One can then tap this button in the lower right corner and enjoy video chat.
Check Who Views Your Story
If you want to know who is viewing your story from your friend list, then go to the Stories section where all your stories appear. Tap on one particular story and it will show all the friends who viewed that particular story.
Enlarge Emojis
Yes, you can enlarge the emojis on Snapchat. Select an emoji and tap the “T” symbol in the upper-right corner. This will allow you to use your fingers to make emojis bigger or smaller.
Enlarge Text
Just like emojis, you can also enlarge the text while tapping the button “T”. Then, you can enlarge your captions by using your finger to zoom in or out to make text bigger or smaller.
Add Extra Text
Why limit the choice of word to 31 characters in your Snap story? To add more text to your snaps, simply go to My Notes, then select a blank text and copy it to the clipboard. Once done, paste it into the text field of your snap and you are good to go to add a paragraph to your story.
Double Filters
If you want to use two filters at once for your snap, then do this. Simply swipe over your photo to use first filter and then hold down on the screen to swipe over with another filter.
Use Emojis as Filters
How about using the emoji as a filter? Well for that, choose the emoji and enlarge it while using your fingers as much as it takes up the whole screen. Once the edges become pixelated, then drag over the frame to give it a look similar to that of the filter.
Use Two-Step Verification
Just like any other app, it is always a better idea to enable two-step verification to keep your information secure. All you have to do is, go to settings and select ‘login verification’.
Revive Old Camera Lenses
As Snapchat keeps changing its lenses, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get back to the old camera.
Just go to settings, select ‘date and time’ and uncheck the automatic date and time. Once done, you can change the date to a previous update and use the lens for your snap. However, make sure to change the date to present once you are done snapping as it will affect your other apps too.
