Snapchat is an image messaging and multimedia mobile application. Snapchat is primarily used for creating multimedia messages referred to as "snaps"; snaps can consist of a photo or a short video, and can be edited to include filters and effects, text captions, and drawings. This popular app lets its users send self-destructing photos, videos, and texts. Here is a list of tips that can get make you get better with its use.
1. Use multiple filters: You can put a time stamp, color, geofilter, and video filter all on the same snap. Keep one finger on the screen as you use another to swipe left and right to add filters. Lift finger up between choosing, and make sure that filters' locations don't overlap.
2. Get more pen colors: If you tap on the color bar then drag your finger around the screen, you'll get access to a huge range of colors.
3. Create your own geofilter:You can make your own geofilter using a transparent PNG file with a 1080 x 1920 pixel dimension and under 300 KB file size. Businesses have to create theirs through a separate paidOn Demand Geofilter tool.
4. Save data by turning on Travel Mode in settings: The feature prevents stories from auto-loading when you're not on WiFi.
5. Customize friend emojis:If you've ever been confused about what those emojis mean next to a friend's username, go into your Settings and Additional Services. Once there, go into the Friend Emojis screen to see what each one represents and change them too.
6. Put a soundtrack on snaps: Play songs in a separate app and turn the volume up. Then record a video snap.
7. Tag a sticker to a moving object in a snap: Tap a sticker and hold it on top of an object until the sticker is pinned. When your video plays, the sticker will follow the object's movement.
8. Change size of stickers and text: Pinch stickers and text to make them bigger or smaller. You can rotate them too.
9. Subscribe to channels: If you like a certain news outlet, you can tap and hold a story to subscribe to it. When you do, the channel will show up under the Subscriptions section, under your friends' stories.
10. Add friends who are nearby: This is an easy way to add a bunch of people during a party. Turn on location tracking to see which user names are nearby in the Add Friends feature.
11. Stop someone else from seeing your stories: In Settings, go to the Who Can section and choose Custom for My Story. Then you'll be able to block people without actually blocking them or unfriending them. If you don't want to watch someone else's story, swipe down on it. To avoid seeing stories from that person completely, unfriend.
