How to use Snapchat

We’re going to be talking about many of the latest features in this article so you’ll need to make sure you have the latest version of the app very first. Find out how to update Snapchat.

We’re assuming you have already set up a Snapchat account. (And if you have an old one with an embarrassing name now may be the time to switch it.)

We’ll look at how to do all kinds of things in Snapchat, sometimes with a brief overview with a link to a more in-depth and step by step guide.

How do I use Snapchat filters?

In similar style to Instagram, Snapchat has filters or lenses which you can add to your photos. However, they’re not switched on by default so here’s how to switch on filters in Snapchat.

Once you’ve taken a photo, ordinary swipe left or right and you’ll see a message which says ‘turn on filters’. Click the ‘I want filters’ button at the bottom of the screen. This will take you to the ‘extra services’ part of the settings menu where you can tick the filters box. Note that you’ll need to enable location to be able to switch them on and for some to work decently.

How do I switch my voice in Snapchat movie?

Voice filters are now available for all movie Snaps. Look for the fresh Speaker icon that shows up at the bottom left of the screen once you have taken a movie, then tap this to select a voice filter.

How do I face interchange in Snapchat?

One of the most popular filters on Snapchat is Face Exchange, which, you guessed it, exchanges faces. There’s also a fresh face exchange feature in Snapchat that introduces the capability to face interchange with a photo from your phone’s photo library.

Lenses

Lenses are one of the most popular features of Snapchat – after the capability to send movies/photos that expire after ten seconds, of course. It seems that Snapchat has also noticed this, with the photo-sharing giant once suggesting the capability for its customers to buy (with real life money) lenses to be used at any time.

The stiff has since scrapped the idea of selling Lenses, and to stop the feature becoming stagnated, has introduced a fresh system. Instead of suggesting the same range of lenses on a day-to-day basis, the selection is updated regularly, removing the oldest Snapchat lens and substituting it with a brand fresh one. Don’t worry, however – if you did buy any lenses, these will still be permanently available to you.

One of the most confusing things to fresh Snapchat users is how to access these lenses.

Turn the camera so your face is on the phone’s screen as if you were to take a selfie, then tap and hold on your face until a mesh emerges then release. Snapchat will stream several lenses to the side of the capture button, which you can slide through to access.

How do I use Snap Map?

You’ll find in-depth instructions on how to use Snap Map here, but in essence you just pinch the screen to open the Map. You can view Snaps of cracking news and events or featured Snaps here, or add your own. To add a Snap to the Map make sure you send it to Our Story rather than My Story.

For some users, however, Snap Map is potentially a bit too creepy. If you’re worried but have already added the feature, go after our instructions to disable Snap Map.

What’s fresh in the redesigned Snapchat?

Following a successful 2016, Snapchat released an update (Ten.0) in January two thousand seventeen that overhauled the Snapchat UI, and introduced a handful of fresh features to the app. So, what’s different?

Apart from the visible switches in design on the Talk and Story pages, there’s a fresh Search bar available on the Camera section of the app. Tap the Search bar to bring up a Quick Talk window that displays the people you’ve recently spoken to via Snapchat. Simply tap on the profile icon of the person you want to speak to, and you’ll be taken to the relevant Snapchat talk.

Along with the Quick Talk menu, there’s also Fresh Friends, Quick Add and Contacts menus. The Fresh Friends menu is self-explanatory, listing a handful of your recently-added friends, while the Quick Add menu suggests Snapchatters that you might know, and ultimately, Contacts displays Snapchat users via your smartphone’s address book.

Last but not least, there’s a fresh feature similar to the clone device on Photoshop. Once you’ve taken your Snap, simply tap the scissors in the top-right palm corner and outline the area you’d like to clone. Once the selection has been cloned, simply stir it (and reshape it with two fingers like with other stickers) and let go to place it. This can be done as many times as you want!

How do I screenshot on Snapchat without them knowing

With photos only being viewable for a maximum of ten seconds, many users will take a screenshot to immortalise pics – potentially to post them on other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Snapchat built in a system to notify users if a snap they sent got screenshotted, however, there’s a way of doing it so they don’t know. If you want to be sneaky, find out how to screenshot in Snapchat without them knowing here.

Snapchat Playlists

Snapchat has been updated again and now puts your friends very first. Previously, Auto Advance made it difficult to choose which friend’s story you dreamed to observe, automatically playing one after the other.

Now you can select the friend whose story you want to witness, and even create playlists of various friends’ stories. You just tap on the thumbnails next to your friends’ names in the order you want to create your playlist, then press play at the bottom of the screen.

Use Snapchat on PC or laptop

Snapchat is a mobile app so you are no doubt using it on your smartphone or perhaps a tablet. However, you can use it on PC or laptop so find out how.

You can tap and hold on the phone icon to record and send an audio message, and the same goes for the movie icon for a movie message.

Note that your friend will need to have updated to the fresh version of Snapchat if you want to use these features with them.

Download Snapchat movies

Screenshotting photos is one thing but how to you download a movie in Snapchat? It’s not as effortless as taking a screenshot but we have some tricks up our sleeve and the sender won’t even know you’ve done it. Find out how here.

How do I reply to Snapchat stories?

An integral part of the Snapchat practice is the Snapchat Story, which displays a collection of movies and photos you’ve taken over a period of twenty four hours, and can be viewed (and replayed) by friends.

Stories automatically advance meaning you’ll budge straight on to the next story in your contacts list once the very first is finished. But what if you want to reply to a specific Snapchat amongst the collection of movies and photos in your friends Story?

With the latest update, Snapchat has officially added story replies. When watching a friends (no doubt hilarious) Snapchat story, you can reply to a specific photo or movie by swiping up from the bottom of the display, opening a fresh talk window.

Simply type your message, hit send, and your friend will recieve the message along with a snapshot of the photo/movie you’re replying to. Not the most groundbreaking addition ever, but it should make replying to Snapchat Stories a little bit lighter in future!

Slo-mo and rewind filters

After you shoot a movie in the latest version of the app, simply swipe left or right until you see three arrows (rewind) or a snail symbol (slo-mo). The rewind filter is useful if you want to make ‘magic’ effects such as unlikely catches (since you’re actually throwing something away from you).

Force Touch

Force Touch integration is presently pretty basic. You press hard on the Snapchat icon and get options to begin a fresh talk or add a fresh friend.

What are Snapchat Trophies?

Swipe down from the main screen to bring up your individual Snapchat code (see how to use Snapcodes) and you’ll see a fresh trophy icon above it. Tap it and you’ll see what trophies you’ve managed to unlock – they’re basically achievements like you get on computer games.

At the time of writing there are sixteen to unlock and we’ve only managed the very first one (reaching a score of 500) so we better go send some more snaps. Tapping the locked ones simply displays question marks so you’ll have to work out how to unlock them.

Skip a story or snap

If you’ve had numerous snaps from the same contact, or what to view someone’s story without it taking forever you can skip each photo or movie whenever you’re ready. When you’re holding one finger on the screen to view a snap, simply tap anywhere else with another finger to skip to the next one.

Movie calls

If you fancy talking to a friend, swipe right on their name in your Snapchat inbox to begin. When you leave the talk screen, messages viewed by both you and your friend will be cleared.

The app will notify you if your friend is online when talking, and if you’re both talking at the same time you plain have to press and hold to share live movie.

Use numerous filters

It is possible to use more than one Snapchat filter at once. Having applied the very first filter, h old your finger or thumb down on the pic, preferably in the lower right side of the display, then at the same time swipe in from the left with another appendage. You should now see the 2nd filter show up and you can cycle through them using the normal technology of swiping from the left. (See our separate guide on How to use two Snapchat filters at once.)

Switch Snapchat number of best friends

While you’re in the extra services menu, you can tweak how many friends show up in your best friends menu. Simply select it in the menu and choose how many you want it to be. There’s a maximum of seven – we’re not sure why.

Force Touch integration is presently pretty basic. You press hard on the Snapchat icon and get options to begin a fresh talk or add a fresh friend.

What are Snapchat Trophies?

Swipe down from the main screen to bring up your private Snapchat code (see how to use Snapcodes) and you’ll see a fresh trophy icon above it. Tap it and you’ll see what trophies you’ve managed to unlock – they’re basically achievements like you get on computer games.

At the time of writing there are sixteen to unlock and we’ve only managed the very first one (reaching a score of 500) so we better go send some more snaps. Tapping the locked ones simply displays question marks so you’ll have to work out how to unlock them.

Skip a story or snap

If you’ve had numerous snaps from the same contact, or what to view someone’s story without it taking forever you can skip each photo or movie whenever you’re ready. When you’re holding one finger on the screen to view a snap, simply tap anywhere else with another finger to skip to the next one.

Movie calls

If you fancy talking to a friend, swipe right on their name in your Snapchat inbox to begin. When you leave the talk screen, messages viewed by both you and your friend will be cleared.

The app will notify you if your friend is online when talking, and if you’re both talking at the same time you elementary have to press and hold to share live movie.

Use numerous filters

It is possible to use more than one Snapchat filter at once. Having applied the very first filter, h old your finger or thumb down on the photo, preferably in the lower right side of the display, then at the same time swipe in from the left with another appendage. You should now see the 2nd filter show up and you can cycle through them using the normal technology of swiping from the left. (See our separate guide on How to use two Snapchat filters at once.)

Switch Snapchat number of best friends

While you’re in the extra services menu, you can tweak how many friends emerge in your best friends menu. Simply select it in the menu and choose how many you want it to be. There’s a maximum of seven – we’re not sure why.

Delete your Snapchat account

If despite all the above, you just want to get rid of Snapchat and go further than just uninstalling the app. We display you how to delete your Snapchat account here.
