![]() ![]() Your Bitmoji is your cartoon doppelgänger. Go for a classic emoji, or create your own ‘Bitmoji' using a free app that can be linked to Snapchat. Tap the sticker button (the one that looks like a Post-It) to add a sticker. You can then move it around the screen, using your fingers to twist it or change its size. Tap it again to make your text big, white, and bold. Tap the 'T' icon in the top right-hand corner to add text. Once you've taken your photo or video, you can edit your Snapchats before saving or sending them.

You can add the location, time, temperature, or even speed at which you were traveling, or change an image or video's color cast, making it lighter, darker, warmer, cooler, or black and white. It worth noting that Snapchat won't record videos with sound if your phone is in silent mode. Press and hold the big round button for up to 10 seconds to record a video. Experienced users recommend keeping things short but sweet.

To begin with, you'll see a baby next to their name, which signifies a brand new friendship. They'll then appear on the 'My Friends' list accessed from your profile page, accompanied by an icon that signifies the status of your Snapchat friendship with them. If your friend isn't in your phone's contact list, you can search for them by name or username, instead. Alternatively, navigate to your profile page and tap 'Add Friends'. You can also search for a particular contact by typing their name into the search bar. Click the ‘Add' button next to their name to follow them. ![]() Tap the Search bar at the top of the capture screen and you'll find a list of people in your phone's contacts list using Snapchat.

From the capture (or camera screen), swipe up for Memories (where you can find saved Snaps and images from your phone's camera roll), down to access your profile page, right to see recent chats, and left for updates from people you follow (swiping left a second time will take you to the ‘Discover' screen, which features stories from Snapchat's media partners, including the likes of Buzzfeed, Mashable, Sky Sports and National Geographic). However, it's really just a matter of swiping up, down, right, and left until you get to where you want to be. ![]()
