You can also tap anywhere on the preview screen to access a keyboard and add text (but only after you tap-to-close the colour slider). It’s pretty simple, actually.
- You can also slide from left or right on the preview screen to add various filters based on your location, the current time, the current temperature, the speed you may be traveling at, and more. There’s also ones that just change the colour and look of your snap. Simply swipe around until you find one you like.
- When everything is ready to go, you will see a snap length icon in the bottom left of your screen. It should be a circle with a number in it. The number represents how many seconds the recipient will have to view your snap. Tap this icon to adjust length time from 1 second to 10 seconds.
- Next to the snap length icon is a universal download icon. If you select it, your snap will download to your device. The next icon at the bottom of the camera view is for stories.
