Snapchat Android

The social network of filters and ephemeral messages

Although it no longer has the traction it had a few years ago and other networks such as Instagram and TikTok have taken away a good part of its audience, Snapchat APK still has its audience. It is a messaging application and social network with multimedia support for images, video, and augmented reality photo filters developed in 2010 by three Stanford students. The videos created with it, called snaps, have the particularity of being deleted after ten seconds when the user sees them in order to protect everyone's privacy. This temporary nature allows us to share any image or video in which we appear and that we do not want to be permanently available on the Internet: that is, dirty photos, racy photos, or simply photos that we are too embarrassed to upload to our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account. In other words, if you download Snapchat Android for free, you'll have access to one of the best social networks when it comes to sharing ephemeral content.

Much more than ephemeral messaging

Okay originally Snapchat was originally intended as a communication application to exchange messages and photos, but for some time now many users simply use it for the fun effects that we can apply to any photograph. To do this, you simply have to:

1. Step 1: Focus on your face with the selfie camera.
2. Step 2: Tap on any area of the screen.
3. Step 3: Explore the pop-up menu with the different filters available.
4. Step 4: Follow the on-screen instructions such as open your mouth or blink to enjoy the effects in real-time.
5. Step 5: Add text and stickers to your snap.

Now it's up to you whether you want to save your photos for your personal enjoyment or publish the snap, in which case you will have to click on the central circle so that the application captures the image (you have to leave it pressed longer if you want to record a video) and then click on the blue arrow, which will open a menu for you to choose to whom you want to send your message.
