That time you swapped faces with your girlfriend and everyone thought it was hilarious (Nice beard, Anne!)? That only works once. Here’s how not to be that guy on Snapchat.Ĭool, you changed the pitch of your voice for the millionth time because you did it once when you were out drinking with your buddies, and at first it was super funny to turn your face into a cartoon dog who keeps licking the camera. That simple process can make for fun, entertaining bits of social comedy - but you wouldn’t know it by looking at most users who share boring and annoying day-to-day posts. If you need a quick breakdown, here’s how it works: You snap, modify, and send photographs and videos to your followers, who can look at your message any time after they receive it, but it’s only visible to them for an amount of time that you specify, often 10 seconds or less.
(Especially because they probably took a screenshot.) Snapchat’s functionality is straightforward. Just because the pictures disappear doesn’t mean your friends will respect you tomorrow.
