Luckily, this nifty Snapchat feature allows you to swipe up from the camera screen and revisit Snaps and Stories from days gone by. Flick between your Snaps, Stories, Camera Roll, and private Snaps along the main menu at the top of the screen. You can save any Snap to Memories by tapping the Save button. You can also choose to save all Snaps to Memories by default. Open the Snapchat app and swipe up or tap the small circle below the capture button to view your Memories.
Want to know more about what you can do with Snapchat Memories? Possibly the coolest feature on Snapchat is the Snap Map. On this screen, there are a few things you can do:.
Bitmoji is all about showing the world your personality. The Map will come to life and show you popular spots near your location. Click on a location to access details, such as opening times, popular times to visit, and contact information.
You can even send place recommendations to your friend list. Tap the Friends icon on the Snap Map to locate your friends. Swipe down on the camera screen or tap the magnifying glass in the top left corner to access the Search screen.
This screen is the place to find and interact with short viral videos from across the platform. Hold the capture button down to take a video, and a red marker will appear to indicate that that app is recording.
You can capture up to 10 seconds of video in one Snap. If you keep holding the button down, it will record multiple Snaps up to 60 seconds of video. To take a selfie, flip the camera on your screen by tapping the square arrows icon in the top right corner or double-tapping anywhere on the screen.
You can dress up your Snap with innovative tools and filters. Once your Snap is ready to go, click the yellow Send To arrow icon on the bottom right of the screen. You can also add your Snap to your Story and your Snap Map.
To send multiple Snaps, repeat the process above. Your friend will receive your Snaps in the order you sent them. You now know how to create and send a Snapchat. But, do you know how to view Snaps? Note: You can also set up push notifications on your phone for new Snaps. A Snapchat Story is a collection of Snaps captured within the past 24 hours. By default, your Story is visible to all of your friends, and they can view the Snaps in your story as many times as they like.
You can limit who sees your Story by changing your privacy settings. Finally, tap Add , and the Snap will become part of your Story. From the camera screen, tap the circular icon in the very top left of the screen you should see your most recent Snap there.
Then tap My Story. Tap any Snap to view it, tap the three dots in the top right corner, and tap Delete Snap. Remember, your Story is a rolling archive of the past 24 hours. From the camera screen, tap the profile icon in the top left corner, then tap the download button beside My Story to save your current Story to Memories or your camera roll.
From the camera screen, tap on the Stories icon in the bottom right corner. You can create a shared Story with your friends. Custom Stories can contain up to 1, snaps, and they last as long as someone adds a Snap every 24 hours.
Want to make your Snaps pop? Apply a Snapchat Lens. Unlike the creative tools and filters you apply after taking the Snap, you add Snapchat lenses before tapping the capture button. It depends. If you set a time limit on a snap, it will disappear after it's viewed.
However, recipients can take a screenshot of an image using their phones or a third-party screen-capture app. A phone screen-capture will notify the sender that the image was captured. But third-party apps don't trigger a notification. For these reasons, it's best teens understand that nothing done online is really temporary.
Before sending a sexy or embarrassing snap of themselves or someone else, it's important to remember that the picture could circulate the school by tomorrow morning.
With a Snapstreaks, two users have snapped back and forth within a hour period for three days in a row. Once you've established a streak, special emojis and statistics display next to the streakers' names to show you how long you've maintained a streak. Why do they matter? For one thing, they add to your overall Snapchat score basically a number that reflects how much you use the app.
For another, they can occasionally become the most important thing in a kid's life. Because of the intense bonds kids can form over social media, they can feel a Snapstreak is a measure of their friendship, and if they don't keep it up they'll let the other person down.
Teens have even been known to give friends access to their Snapchat accounts to keep a streak going if they can't do it themselves for example, if their phone gets taken away for being online too much. This can lead to feelings of pressure, anxiety and compulsion, so it's good to know if your kid has streaks going to get a window into why that selfie might feel really important.
Snap Map displays your location on a map in real time. Only your Snapchat friends can see where you are. If your friends have opted into Snap Map, you can see their locations, too. You can turn this off or use it in Ghost Mode, which allows you to see the map but not be seen by others.
Snap Map also features news and events from around the world—for example, a political rally in Nicaragua, which displays as an icon on a map of the world.
The biggest risk with Snap Map is a teen having their location seen by all their friends—since some of their Snapchat contacts may not be real friends. Unless there's a specific event and it makes it easier for friends to know each other's location, it's best to leave Snap Maps off or use it in Ghost Mode.
A story is a collection of moments in the form of pictures and videos that, taken together, create a narrative. After Snapchat popularized the format, other social media services, including Facebook and Instagram, offered story-creation tools, too.
On Snapchat, stories appear as circles, and when you tap them, they autoplay the pictures or videos the user collected. You can create personal stories that your friends can view for a hour period.
Or, if you think your Snap is particularly interesting or newsworthy, you can send it to Our Story. Our Stories are kind of like mini-documentaries of events, holidays, game championships or other things happening in the world on a particular day.
Snaps are curated and compiled by the company. While it's cool to have your story added to Our Story, it's also very public, so kids should think carefully before submitting one. When you sign up, Snapchat gives you your own unique QR code. When you meet a fellow Snapchat user and want to friend each other, you can just take a snap of the other person's code, and they're automatically added to your friends list.
Because it's so easy to find friends on Snapchat depending on your settings or exchange codes, teens may end up with virtual strangers on their friends list. For a variety of reasons, that can be risky, so it's best to talk to your teen about when it's safe to add people. Discover offers content created by celebrities, news and entertainment outlets, and other users.
You can subscribe to specific Discover sources to receive their feeds. While Discover offers some legitimate news from publishers including the New York Times and Vice Media, the offerings can be promotional and are frequently mature.
But if your kid has signed up with their correct birth date, they'll miss the alcohol ads and other adult content that Snapchat filters out for underage users. Discover stories often feature promos prompting kids to "swipe up" to learn more which usually leads to ads or take a quiz which is usually a marketing tool. This section runs the gamut from harmless to shocking, so it's good to look around and get a sense of what your kids are seeing.
Snapchat is waaaay more than cute photos. The more you use the app, the more points you get and the higher your Snapchat score goes. Snapchat awards high scorers with trophies and other perks. Here are a few other Snapchat features:. Face lenses and world lenses: If you've seen photos of people with cartoon cat ears and whiskers on their faces, those are face lenses. World lenses are augmented reality elements, such as rainbows, that you can add to a snap so it looks like it's part of the photo.
Technically, lenses are "overlays—and they cost money on Snapchat. Geo-filters: These are location-specific elements that can only be unlocked by visiting a specific place.
Businesses use geo-filters as a way for customers to check in and advertise them. A kid could create a special geo-filter for their sweet party for attendees to add to their photos. Most kids use Snapchat to goof around and stay in contact with their friends—end of story. Yes, there's some mature content, but it's appropriate for most teens 16 and up. That said, there are three key risky areas:.
The myth of disappearing messages. The more you Snap, the higher your score. Your Snapchat score is calculated by the combined number of Snaps you've sent and received excluding your Snapchat stories. You get one point for every Snap you send and a point for every Snap you receive from somebody else. You'll also be awarded trophies, which you can view by tapping the trophy icon above your profile picture.
Don't worry too much about scores or trophies—they might well make or break your teenager's social standing, but they're essentially pointless. This is actually easier than it looks. The disconcerting absence of menu buttons and helpful instructions and the presence of a few which cause more confusion than they resolve has many a newbie tearing their hair out in frustration. However, it's really just a matter of swiping up, down, right, and left until you get to where you want to be.
Snapchat Mat allows you to check in on where your friends and family are if their location is turned on. It's an opt-in function, so you choose whether you want to make your location visible to friends on Snapchat.
Tap the Search bar at the top of the capture screen and you'll find a list of people in your phone's contacts list using Snapchat. You can also search for a particular contact by typing their name into the search bar. Alternatively, navigate to your profile page and tap 'Add Friends'. If your friend isn't in your phone's contact list, you can search for them by name or username, instead. They'll then appear on the 'My Friends' list accessed from your profile page, accompanied by an icon that signifies the status of your Snapchat friendship with them.
To begin with, you'll see a baby next to their name, which signifies a brand new friendship. Don't worry too much about this—it comes under the "cute but completely irrelevant to the casual user" category. You can also chat to a friend via text, voice, or video call over WiFi on the Chats screen. Swipe right on any name to start a conversation unfortunately, Snapchat doesn't currently offer a group chat option.
We suggest adding Madonna Snapchat username: madonna , Kate Hudson Snapchat username: khudsnaps and Eva Longoria Snapchat username: realevalongoria for starters. Navigate to the capture screen. The big round circle at the bottom of the screen? That's the shutter button.
Tap it again to switch back to standard mode. If you've Snapped a still image, you can tap the circled number in the bottom left corner to choose how long your snap will be visible for in seconds when others view it. Experienced users recommend keeping things short but sweet. Press and hold the big round button for up to 10 seconds to record a video. It worth noting that Snapchat won't record videos with sound if your phone is in silent mode. Swipe right or left to add filters.
You can add the location, time, temperature, or even speed at which you were traveling, or change an image or video's color cast, making it lighter, darker, warmer, cooler, or black and white. Videos can be sped up, slowed down, or reversed. You can add two filters at once by holding your thumb on the screen after selecting the first, then swiping with another finger to choose a second. Once you've taken your photo or video, you can edit your Snapchats before saving or sending them.
