It is time to learn how to snap. The first thing you need to do is take the picture or video (you can only use an existing photo or video on iPhone. On the top right you can switch from front facing to back facing camera. If you double tap the screen it will switch between cameras. Again, if you are on iPhone you can do this while recording the video (but it is not supported on Android… everyone hates Android.)
To take a picture simply press the big button on the bottom. To take a video, hold down the button, a video is up to 10 seconds long.
You are now brought a screen that allows you to review the snap. From this screen there are several options. On the bottom left there is a timer. This timer let’s your followers see that snap for that amount of time.
To the right of the timer there is a button that allows you to download the snap. To the right of that is a button that will send your snap directly to your story.
The final button on the bottom is the send button. This allows you not only to send the snap to your story, but also to select friends.
In our next post we will talk about the final features of snaps, including text, emojis and drawing.00
