Snapchat has become one of the world’s most used social media or messaging app. One good thing about Snapchat is that pictures and messages are usually only available for a short time before they become inaccessible to their recipients.
That said, there are some who have the app installed but are unable to navigate the features especially using the camera.
Before you use Snapchat, you need to create an account.
Unlike other social networks, which open to a timeline or news feed, Snapchat opens to a camera screen. If you have an account already, we take you through steps on how to use Snapchat.
- Tap the capture (circular) button at the bottom of the screen.
- To take a video, hold the capture button down and a red marker will appear to indicate that it’s 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.
- To take a selfie, flip the camera on your screen by tapping the camera icon in the top right corner or double-tapping anywhere on the screen.
