How to Send a Snap on Snapchat

Tap through each step to see exactly how to send a Snap.

  1. See the camera screen open first

    Snapchat always opens directly to the camera screen when you launch the app.

  2. Tap to take a photo, hold for video

    Tap the round button briefly for a photo, or press and hold it to record a video.

  3. Add text, stickers, or filters

    Use the icons at the top of the screen to decorate your Snap with text, drawings, or lens effects.

  4. Choose a friend and tap send

    Select who you want to send it to from your friends list, then tap the arrow in the bottom right to send it.

Share everyday moments without the pressure

Because a sent Snap disappears automatically once it has been viewed, it is a comfortable way to share small everyday moments without feeling like you need to make a big production of it.

Know what the other person can see

If the recipient takes a screenshot of your Snap, you will receive a notification about it. You can also select several friends at once on the send screen to send the same Snap to everyone in one go.
