Fun Snapchat tips and tricks
Add more lines to text: Snapchat does not allow users to enter text in multiple lines, as it replaces the return button with ‘Done’ on the keyboard. There is a clever workaround though. To enter text in different lines simply open Notes app on your iPhone, hit the return key multiple times and then tap and hold in the text area. Next, from the pop up menu tap on ‘Select all’ button. Now empty area should be copied on the clipboard. Open Snapchat app, take a photo and then paste the empty area copied in the clipboard. You should now get text area consisting of multiple lines. Simply type in different lines before sending the snap.
Switch between front and back cameras while recording: While recording a video snap you can switch between front and back cameras of your device. Simply tap and hold on the record button and then tap on the camera switch button without letting go the record button.
Quickly video call for a live chat: Snapchat recently added a live chat feature that allows you to video call with any friend. Just open their conversation page and hit the movie cam button. You can also send quick video note by tapping and holding the movie button.
Fix emoji on video: You can add an emoji to a video and fix it to a particular spot. Once you have done so the emoji will stay in the place even the camera is moving.
