Snapchat

Snapchat Snapchat lets you share snaps that fade after viewing, with playful filters, AR lenses, and Stories. Enjoy temporary chats, Bitmoji avatars, Snap Map location options, and curated news from creators.

Snapchat

Snapchat is a social app built around messages that vanish. You can share photos or videos and set them to automatically disappear after the recipient opens them—typically anywhere from 1 to 10 seconds—helping keep things more private and immediate. If the person you send content to takes a screenshot, Snapchat sends them a notification.

The app also includes a large library of creative tools: filters, stickers, and augmented reality (AR) lenses. Many of these support facial recognition and let you interact with your surroundings in real time. On top of personal sharing, Snapchat brings together news, entertainment, and other content from publishers, brands, and creators, turning it into a platform for both information and advertising.

How it works

• If you’re a Lens+ or Snapchat+ Platinum subscriber, you can find the Lens near the front of the Carousel or under Exclusive.
• Pick the Lens, then tap the caption to adjust your prompt—or select one of the ready-made prompts.



• Create your Snap, then share it with a friend, post it to your Story, or save it to share outside Snapchat.
