Snapchat: the most comprehensive guide to the most correct messenger

By the time I came Snapchat 10. I'm not kidding! Again and again, trying to understand what it is, why this strange application is necessary for someone and, most importantly, why it is growing rapidly, and other products worth $ 15 billion. I decided to thoroughly understand this phenomenon, catch a wave and try to have fun. If millions can, why can not I? And so it happened I write this huge lead, after reading that you have no chance to understand. See you in Snapchat! ;)

What is Snapchat (short version)

Snapchat - this messenger that works on iOS and Android. A key feature is its self-destruction of the sent messages.

What is Snapchat (Genuine)

Snapchat - this application in the style of Zen. That's what about ZenHe speaks "Wikipedia":

In broad terms, the Zen - a school of mystical contemplation.

Contemplation and inability to hold - it is about Snapchat is 100%! The cornerstone here is that you send your friends messages that self-destruct after viewing. You're not watching them, you behold them in the same way as a Buddhist contemplates the reality around him, not trying to fix it or change it. Posts in Snapchat - this video, photo and text. The focus, of course, made the video.

Photos and videos can be strongly modified, and they can only be vertical (hear the howl of "specialists" with YouTube). To send content does not clog the phone's memory, not stored without your knowledge, does not remain in the recipient's phone.

Communication in Snapchat can be a tete-a-tete, and broadcast to all subscribers. There are no likes (they do not exist as a class), the number of subscribers, comments. This messenger first.

The Snapchat most illogical of interfaces you've ever seen. It is quite different, and almost no previous experience with VK, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, WhatsApp and Co. will not help you. But users find the interface Snapchat most comfortable and enjoyable. Falling in love with this application, you will think the same way. I was convinced of it after a week of use. I'm not lying.

More is not here:

• Import contacts;
• cross-posting;
• overload followers of other networks;
• in the classic sense of filters;
• send photos and videos from Camera Roll;
• user profiles;
• Web Parts and other integrations in that whatsoever;
• versions for Windows Phone.

Now, first things first. Here is a schematic representation of everything that is happening in Snapchat: navigation and destination windows.

When you start the messenger, you always get to the camera. If you go on the notification, you find yourself in the appropriate section, bypassing the camera. Camera - this is the most functional, that is in Snapchat. We will tell you about it in detail.

Camera

The camera is the central element of the application, and then you can take photos and video to send contacts or to fill its history. Snapchat a camera I decided to show, as the words pass it pretty hard ...

If you need to remove the sticker or the text, just do this:

The camera has the opportunity to immediately set up a "masterpiece" one or more contacts from the list.

Story

Most people are filled with their own history. History - this likeness in any tape social networking. It your photos and videos stored for 24 hours and then removed. Here is the story of my contacts:

The main thing - it's "pizza" in the Avatar. It shows the time after which the user story will be destroyed. Roughly speaking, each message lives all day. Once the 24 hours will be held for each message, the story will be completely destroyed.

View History - is the coolest. :) You can watch videos and images given by the author at the time of posting, but can simply touch the screen and move to the next item. Here's how it looks:

With regard to your history, you can decompose it into scenes (click on the three dots) or download everything in one fell swoop in the Camera Roll. If you are there for a few videos and photos, all of them will be saved as separate files. You can click on the eye with the number next to the elements of history and see exactly who has reviewed your creativity.

Preserve the history and stories of the elements of your contacts, you certainly can not.

By double-tap on a photo or video, you can respond to the user. It will not comment, as a private message. Remember also that Snapchat - it is primarily the messenger?

Discover, or 3.0 Content

The Snapchat is not only user-generated content, but also zagonchik selected media. Here BuzzFeed, National Geographic, People, Vice, and many others. Read can be arbitrary. It's the same story every day, but made much steeper user kalyaki-Malaki. It seems that it is a peculiar style of the new media, and it looks pretty cool. Time to look in seconds a lot of things, even if all this stuff yet. :)

That is, you open your favorite media (well, except Layfhakera, of course), you study them visualized the cover to move items and swipe between them or by simply touching the screen. Under the covers can be text article or video, as in the example above from BuzzFeed. You liked the cover, you can send your contact, pre-drawing something different. You can not publish content from Discover your story. Because it's your story! Be kind to try for yourself!

messages

The main rule of messages - they are deleted immediately after reading! If you open a video from a friend, but it was noisy and you do not hear anything, then nothing more is heard. It is the same with the text. By the way, the highest form of recognition in the Snapchat is a screenshot of your message, which you'll learn from the alert. It is then a form of kid-skin.

But there is one life hacking: If you hold the finger on the report, it is protected and not lost as long as you do not release from his patronage.

But the most interesting - it is the icons that are next to the contact's name in the chat section. They really mean something, but guess what, it is unrealistic to swoop.

Profile, adding and removing friends

Your profile, you can find out the camera mode, simply svaypnuv it down.

Add me to your friends by simply scanning the code with the camera Snapchat. Try to work pretty cool. Point the camera, hold your finger on the code - and bam, we're friends!

Remove friends too simple. Find a friend's name in the contact list or the list of stories, keep your finger on it, and then click the pop-up window on the GEAR and remove.

conclusions

So, what do we have in the dry residue? Who needs to try the app and why it is better than anything we have now?

1. Start simple. There are innumerable followers, likes, and there are no comments. Here you have just registered the account, and any Instagram-kisa no different for someone who adds you. It is all about creativity and quality content. Try harder, and you will have an audience. Her you can measure the viewing of your stories that you only see. No figures do not prevent people to take you seriously in the first stage.
2. Security. Posts really deleted immediately after reading. No one will find your phone and in your Camera Roll your yesterday's not very successful or frankly dumb pictures, as is the case with almost all modern messengers. If someone makes a screenshot of the screen, then you will know about it and will be able to ask the person not to fumble "content" on. Send SMS drunk in Snapchat safer in times!
3. Speed. I, of course, far from being the old phone, and Snapchat working on it without delay. But it just runs on Android-smartphone for $ 100. It is not uncommon for modern messengers, but then the video and all the whistles... Yet Snapchat flies!
4. Zen. See the very beginning, if missed.

So why do not you give a chance to Snapchat? Suddenly like? And safer to!
