Step-by-Step Guide
Activate the camera and take a photo To begin your creative journey, you first need to activate the camera. Select the lower field in the app to open the camera. This will make the Snapchat icon visible. Now you are ready to take a photo. Just press the round circle in the middle of the screen.

Adjust focus and flash When you want to take a picture, you can also change the focus. Tap in the middle of the screen to set the focus on a desired object. To adjust the brightness of the image, activate the flash. This will give you a better-lit photo that looks best.

Zoom in and out Another useful feature is zooming. You can place two fingers on the screen and spread them apart to zoom in on an object. If you want to make the image smaller, pinch your fingers together. Then you can take the picture by pressing the round circle again.

Record video To record a video, press and hold the button in the middle. While recording, you can speak or gesture. To create a continuous video, swipe left on the lock symbol. This will prevent the recording from automatically stopping, and you can capture several small clips that can be edited together later.

Save snaps Once you have created your snaps, you can save them. Go to the edit icon in the top right corner and select the option "Save" or "Memories." Saving to Memories makes it easier for you to access them and saves space on your phone, as they are stored only in your Snapchat account.

Add texts and drawings To further personalize your snaps, you can add texts and drawings. Tap on the text box to enter your message. You can adjust the size and color of the font. A drawing tool is also available for you to create your own drawings.

Use filters In addition to the classic features, Snapchat also offers various filters that you can apply to your snaps. If you click on the emoji icon next to the recording area, you can choose from a selection of filters and add a special effect to your image.

Geofilters and Specials Snapchat also offers the option to use geofilters that you can add to your snap based on a specific geographic location. To create your own geofilters, you will need a computer and must create them via the browser. This function is particularly interesting for companies that want to optimize their marketing with geofilters.
