Hey guys, welcome back!
I have an exciting video for you today.
Oh yes everyone loves a good Snapchat,
don't they?
Especially me.
I've been really getting into it the past few months.
Time for a cheeky plug.
My Snapchat username is Doug_A.
Well you're just going to have to go type in my username
and follow me
otherwise you'll never see all that
super and saucy, exciting stuff
like nudes that I post everyday.
The thing about Snapchat is they don't really
tell you how to use it or
show you all of the features that are available.
You kind of just have to work them out for yourself,
guess them,
ask your friends
or look them up on the internet.
And ain't nobody got time for that.
Apart from me.
So I've done it all for you.
All of the best tips, tricks, hacks, secret stuff
that there is on Snapchat.
So if you watch this video to the end and follow my advice,
you'll be posting some creative snaps like a pro
in no time.
Are you ready?
Let's do this.
Here we go.
First up, we have
motion-tracking emojis.
I only found out about this one pretty recently
but it's seriously cool and it seems like not a lot
of people know about it.
I don't see many people doing this in their snaps.
So for this one,
to be able to do the motion-tracking,
it seems to work best when you don't move the camera
about too much
and you sort of do slower movements
so not too jerky.
I'm going to do a slow pan into my keyboard
and look what's going to be there.
Oh my god.
Well you don't know yet but you'll soon see.
So there's the video.
Now all we need to do is pick an emoji
or a sticker.
Oh my god.
The day that I'm filming this
they just released stickers
and they're so cool
and so cute, aren't they?
I really like this guy.
He's really cute.
So what I'm going to do is place him on my keyboard,
hold him down.
That tells it that I want to motion track.
I think I've nailed the position right there
so I'm going to let go,
let it do its thing.
Oh it's so cool.
It's just like
a little dude chilling on the keyboard.
So good.
How impressive is that?
That is motion-tracking emojis.
You can place emojis anywhere in your snaps
and they will stick in the real world.
Bringing emojis and stickers to life.
Next up, a lot of people do know this one
but if you haven't heard it before,
it is going to change your life.
Okay I need to start off with a snap so I can show you.
So I'm going to just snap my t-shirt.
Not sponsored by Adidas but I'm available.
Okay so if you thought that these were the only colors
that are available for the pencil thing,
then boy this is going to change your life.
Okay so obviously you can slide your finger
across the spectrum for all those different colors
but if you slide your finger to the left,
like this.
Whoa, it changes to white.
And then if you slide it down,
whoa, it changes to black.
And you can slide it back across this way,
you're basically changing the saturation.
And so you can have like a really light red there
for example,
sort of pink,
a maroon brown.
The world is your oyster
or the screen is your oyster.
By sliding to the left
and then up and down,
you have the whole spectrum of colors at your disposal.
Not just the fully saturated ones on this side.
Yeah I don't know what I'm doing there.
Great photo of your gothic needs.
Though you thought that these
were the only filters that we had, right?
Uh uh uh.
So you can basically create a filter that is any color
of your choosing.
Okay so basically just type a letter
and then you change the color of it like this.
And then basically all you have to do is just make
the D bigger.
That's what she said.
Keep enlarging and enlarging until as you can see
that faded bit that you want to keep making bigger
and use that to cover over the photo.
It depends how extreme you want to go.
If you want to make it all the same tone
or if you want sort of a faded effect like that.
Got a nice, cool purple, unique filter
and that can be any color of your choosing.
You can also add two different letters
that are different colors and so you could sort of have it
maybe fading from purple to green or something like that.
All of that creativity is just your fingertips.
You just have to decide what you want to do with it.
Okay that's scary.
Filter the (beep) out of it.
Okay so this one,
if you fancy spreading out your text,
normally you can just like type stuff and you can
press enter,
you can return and go into new line.
Well, if you go onto your Notes app.
Oh my god, secret notes in there.
Don't want to know what that is.
Let's just delete all that.
On your Notes app,
press return a few times.
So like one, two, three, four, five
and then highlight all of that,
select it all and copy it
then you can go back to Snapchat and paste it into
the text field like this
and then you have all those new lines in there so,
and you can type whatever you want.
You do still have the limit to the amount of text
that you can put on there but it just means that you can
spread it all out.
So I'm going to go like this.
Ha Ho He Ha Ho.
And how much more creative and fun is that
than those old days where you used to put all your text
on one line?
Psh, that's for losers.
It isn't going to make sense to anyone but oh well.
Okay so this one I only just learned whilst looking up
tricks and hacks and it has blown my mind
because I've wanted to do this before
and I just didn't know that it was possible.
So hopefully it will help some of you out there as well.
I'm going to do a slow pan of me in my room.
Okay so we've got the video.
You might want to apply like a beauty filter
or something to it to make yourself look better
because I'm all shiny in that
and looking weird.
So we'll do that first.
Alright so I've applied the filter like that
but then you might want to add something else.
You might want to like add the time or the temperature
or the miles per hour, kilometers per hour
or you might want to like slow the video down
or speed it up.
Well here is how you add another filter
after you've already added one.
Obviously if you swipe left or right now,
you're going to change the filter.
But if you hold down the screen and then swipe again,
then you can add another filter.
So I'm going to speed it up like that.
And so we've now got two filters at the same time
but that's not all.
Oh no.
You can add another one.
I'm going to now add the time.
Should we try another one?
Should we see if it works?
Here goes for number four.
Hold the screen again and swipe.
Oh my god, that reversed it as well.
Four is the limit
but I have four filters on the go at once
and that is pretty cool.
Super useful.
You're welcome.
Next up we have the sneaky, secret screenshot.
But I didn't actually know this one.
I've found it out on the internet while we're searching
for this video.
And it is rather cunning and I will be using it a lot
from now on.
It's pretty simple.
All you have to do is go to your Snapchat timeline thing.
Make sure that the Snapchat that you want to see and
screenshot is loaded.
For example I want to see George Shelley.
And then all we have to do is swipe up
and turn on Airplane mode.
And now Snapchat is no longer connected to the internet
so it can't send data to its servers and stuff.
So I can now go into George Shelley's.
It says no internet connection so I'm going to do
a sneaky screenshot.
Boom.
And so now I've got my screenshot
and he would never be able to tell.
Particularly useful for stalking bae and
saving lots of photos of him to your camera roll
for later viewing.
If you know what I mean.
Totally innocent.
I would never do that, oh my god.
I'm going to tell you one of the best hacks ever.
This one is great for unleashing your hidden creativity
because the possibilities are pretty endless with this.
Oh yes, are you ready?
Are you excited?
How to upload to Snapchat using any photo
from your camera roll.
So sneaky.
Oh my god.
Don't tell anyone.
How cool is this?
Seven out of ten cool.
There are like so many different apps
that you can do this with.
Really you can try any of them.
What I found with them though is that they're all
very very similar.
They all look the same as well which is weird.
And they all use coins which are really annoying.
It costs a coin to upload a photo
and then you have to buy new coins.
Super sneaky, app developers.
However this one I found
and it's definitely not sponsored, I promise.
It has the coins thing
but it lets you upload them for free.
And it's not perfect.
It still has like ads on it
but it means that you can upload as many as you want
and you don't have to worry about buying anything
or like spending money.
So basically with this app,
it's called Snap Cool.
You can pick any of the photos from your camera roll.
So for example,
here is a photo I took a few days ago
for my Instagram so I got my friend just take it like
loads of different ones.
So now,
with this app,
you can pick it and upload it to Snapchat.
We can still add emojis.
This is me, face replace.
And you can still write stuff as well.
I didn't even know that.
You can actually apply your own
filters and effects and stuff.
You can change it however you want
and then when you're done,
upload it to Snapchat.
There we go so that ends my story.
Here's a cool one for if you want to record a video
of yourself but you don't have any friends,
story of my life.
This is what I'm doing right now.
Great.
So there is actually a way to record a Snapchat video
without having to hold down the button.
Aha, bet you didn't know that.
Basically you go into Settings and then General
and Accessibility and then you want to go down
to Interaction and turn on
Assistive Touch.
And basically what you're going to do is teach the Iphone
how to hold down the button for you.
So we'll create a new gesture.
And then you just tap and hold anywhere on the screen
until the blue bar fills up.
And then let go and then press stop then we can save it.
I'm going to click on that little menu thing.
I also customize my top level menu which you can do
back in those settings so that the Snapchat record button
is right there all the time.
So I'm going to click that,
touch the record button
and it will hold it down
for like pretty much until the end.
So we touch that now.
You can see that it is doing it and I'm not even
holding it down.
♫ All by myself
♫ Don't wanna be
♫ All by my ♫
Now if you want to be then you have all the tools
at your disposal to be super creative
and be the best snapper on Snapchat.
