Step 1. Open Snapchat

Step 2. Take a snap
Tap the circular button at the bottom of the camera screen to take a photo or press and hold it to take a video.
Step 3. Swipe left or right to start scanning filters

- If you see the date instead, tap it until the time appears.
- Added the time, it is possible to insert another filter. Press and hold the screen with one finger and use another to continue scrolling through the filters. This will allow you to review the remaining filters you can add.
