Step-by-Step Guide

1. Take a Photo

Start by taking a photo. This is the foundation for your snap. You have the option to add different media, but a good photo is the first step. Just press the shutter to take your snapshot.

2. Select the Text Tool

Now you should select the text tool. Tap on the large “T” in the right sidebar. This opens the text editing options, allowing you to choose different fonts and sizes.

3. Enter Text

Now you can enter your text. For example, write “Hello” or another message. You have the freedom to be creative and format your text the way you want.

4. Adjust Font and Size

Below you have the option to select the font. You can choose from various options like classic text, label format, or even a "creepy" font. Experiment with the options to find the best look for your snap.

5. Position Text

To position your text, simply tap on the text, hold it, and drag it to the desired spot on the screen. You can resize the text with two fingers so that it fits perfectly in your snap.

6. Edit Text

If you have already entered text, you can edit it at any time. Just tap on the text and add the desired content. For example, you might want to inform that your new YouTube video is online.

7. Use Stickers and Cut Out

If you want to highlight an existing image or a part of your photo, you can use the scissor function. This allows you to cut out an element that will later be saved as a sticker. These can easily be used in future snaps.

8. Attach Links

For more engagement, you can add a link to your snap, which is especially useful for marketing purposes. Remember that you can attach the link to your story to make your content even more accessible.

9. Set Snap Duration

You also have the option to determine how long your snap is visible. Choose between 1 to 10 seconds, or keep it visible indefinitely so viewers can look at it longer.

10. Highlight Your Own Content

Tag yourself in your own snap to draw attention to your content. This can be useful for promoting discounts or special content.
