This article explains how to use Snapchat's editing tools to add captions, designs, and stickers to a photo using Android.
Steps
Step 1. Open Snapchat on Android
The icon depicts a white ghost on a yellow background. Tapping the app will open the camera.
Step 2. Take a photo by tapping the white circle at the bottom of the screen
If you want to edit a photo that is in the "Memories" gallery, tap the circle at the bottom of the screen. Then, tap the image you want to edit, slide your finger up, and tap the pencil icon at the bottom of the screen
Step 3. Swipe left to add a filter to the image
You can see all available filters by sliding your finger left and right on the snap.
Step 4. Tap the T-shaped icon at the top right
It allows you to add a caption to the snap. You can write it using the keyboard or copy it from the clipboard.
- A graphic component will appear under the T icon that will allow you to change the color of the text.
- You can tap and drag the text anywhere within the snap.
- If you want to change the font size, tap the T icon again. If you want to enlarge the text, pinch it with two fingers apart. If you want to make it smaller, pinch it with two fingers bringing them together.
Step 5. Tap the pencil icon
It is located under the T, top right. Allows you to draw lines and scribbles on the snap using a finger or stylus.
- To change the size of the brush, pinch two fingers on the screen by pinching them together (to make it smaller) or apart (to make it larger).
- You can change the color of the drawing using the graphic component under the pencil icon.
- If you want to erase a drawing, tap the arrow icon, which is next to the pencil.
Step 6. Tap the sticker icon
It represents a folded sheet and is located under the pencil, top right. The button opens the stickers gallery. Tap the one you want to add to the snap.
- Swipe left or right to see the various sticker categories.
- Added a sticker, you can touch and drag it on the screen, or enlarge or reduce it by pinching your fingers (in the first case move them away, in the second close them).
Step 7. Tap the scissors icon
It is located under the sticker, top right. It allows you to trace the outline of an object with your fingers and use it to create a new sticker. Outlining an object, you can move it or change its size just as if it were a sticker.
Step 8. Tap the paperclip icon
It is located under that of the scissors, in the upper right. This button allows you to link the snap to a website. This way your contacts can easily open the site in question by sliding a finger on the snap.
Step 9. Tap the timer icon
It is located under the paperclip on the right side of the screen. This button allows you to set a time limit in the snap.
If you select the icon with the infinity symbol, your contacts will be able to see the snap for as long as they want
Step 10. Tap the send button
The icon looks like a paper airplane and is located at the bottom right. The contact list will open.
