Did you know snapchat has awesome features? Did you know that you could take a picture and draw on it? Or that you could have a one-on-one conversation with your friend and it won’t save? 

Here are 5 reasons why snapchat is the best app you could use

1. Filters: Everyone these days LOVES using different types of filters for a certain picture. On snapchat, there are tons of filters you could choose from. Funny ones too. This includes seasonal filters, colourful filters etc. If you’re having a bad hair day and pictures are not for you during that day, you’ll think filters for a picture will be acceptable for another human to see. Mostly every social media has different types of filters, but they don’t beat snapchats.

2. One-on-one: Snapchat gives you the option to send a picture or have a conversation with someone but to only that one person. Which is cool. If you don’t want your whole snapchat list to see what you’re doing, you’re able to send a video to just your friend of you being silly, for example. If gives us the opportunity to send directly to a specific person. Or if you’re super drunk at a club, you could totally send that to your bestie without your snapchat list knowing what you’re doing.

3. Capture pictures quickly: Using the snapchat app, you could always take pictures and capture them quickly if you’re on the app, by pressing the middle button. For example, you’re on snapchat checking out what your friends are doing and you see a fight lash out, you could totally video tape that super fast. Instead of going to your camera on your phone, you could videotape it from snapchat and it gives you the ability to save it. The snapchat app also doesn’t flip your face. You know how taking pictures through your phone’s camera flips the image completely, snapchat doesn’t do that, and therefore you’re able to take a picture through snapchat and save it into your picture gallery.

4. Snapchat “Stories”: You could post videos or pictures for your whole snapchat list to see on something called a “Story”. This story only lasts 24 hours. It’s pretty cool because, if the night before you were too drunk and posted something for everyone to see then that story disappears after 24 hours and nobody will be able to show their friends what you were doing that night, dancing and drinking with all your friends and laugh about it.

5. Being artsy: Everyone loves to be artsy and draw funny things on an embarrassing picture. The snapchat app gives you the option to draw funny things or write certain captions on the picture you took. On the top right corner of the app, they give you options of choosing a light crayon or a dark crayon to draw on the picture, as well as caption boxes to write something on the picture. It’s pretty fun because you could show your friends your artistic abilities. Sketching something funny, or being bored so you draw on the snapchat app. It’s super fun.

And that is all folks! 5 reasons to have fun on the snapchat app.
