Face filter:<\/strong> Face filters are filters that are made by Snapchat and are usually updated daily. Face filters are filters that are \u201cmapped\u201d using face recognition technology, and they make you look like whatever filter you choose.<\/span><\/p>\n Geo filter:<\/strong> Geo filters (short for geographical), show up at certain places where filters are set up by Snapchat. You can usually find Geo filters in popular cities, but sometimes eatery\u2019s have them (Dunkin\u2019 Donuts, Seven Eleven, etc.). On holidays Snapchat also makes Geo filters available to everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n My Story:<\/strong> My Story is kind of like the equivalent of your profile on Instagram. Everyone can see what you post on your Story, and your followers will be able to replay your Story for 24 hours. You also have the option to send Snaps to specific people, which we will cover later in the guide.<\/span><\/p>\n Snapcode:<\/strong> Your snap code is a unique code that Snapchat generates for you, and it allows people to easily follow you. Within Snapchat, your code is a bright yellow square with a ghost shape in the middle, and a handful of black dots scattered in the square. Your Snapcode can be used in many different ways; keep reading to find out how!<\/span><\/p>\n Camera screen:<\/strong> The camera screen is where you take Snaps, and it looks just like the regular camera app on your phone. The camera screen is the screen is basically the main screen in the app. When you are at the camera screen, you can access any other screen just by swiping left\/right\/up\/down. Throughout this guide we will start at the camera screen very often, so become familiar with all the different screens and how to get back to the camera!<\/span><\/p>\n Signing up and picking a Snapchat username<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Once you download the Snapchat app, open it up and click Sign Up. Follow the prompts until you get to the Pick A Username page. Your username can be anything you want it to be, but we have found it is easier to make it the same as your other social media accounts so that people can easily find you! Once you pick a username, finish setting up your account, and you\u2019ll be one step closer to Snappin\u2019 away!<\/span><\/p>\n Adding your picture<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n When you are done creating your profile picture, press the \u201cback\u201d arrow in the bottom left. You will then be taken back to your personal screen. If you want to change any of the privacy settings, click the gear button in the top right.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b> Adding by Snapcode<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Adding by Snapcode is the easiest ways to add friends that you find online. You don\u2019t have to memorize or write down their Snapchat username, just screenshot whenever you see a code online! There\u2019s also another way to add friends via Snapchat, and it\u2019s a great option if you are with them face-to-face.<\/span><\/p>\n For this method, you\u2019ll need your phone and a friends phone. On your friends phone, have them start at their camera screen and swipe down to get to their Snapcode. Then on your phone, go to the camera screen and take a picture of their Snapcode. Snapchat will then read the code and let you add them as a friend!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span> Adding by Snapchat username<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Add Nearby<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Have everyone start at the camera screen, then swipe down. Press \u201cAdd Friends\u201d, then \u201cAdd Nearby\u201d. Snapchat will then start searching for users who are in the Add Nearby feature, and when it finds them you can add them as a friend! Remember: to find people using this feature, you all need to be in the Add Nearby page at the same time. Sometimes Snapchat is a little slow, so keep it open for a few minutes until it finds everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n What is a Snapcode?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Where to find your Snapcode<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Sharing your Snapcode<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you have wanted to see what Snapchat is all about but never quite figured out how to get started, we created this getting started guide including a video tutorial for some basic Snapchat how-to’s.
