5. Add More Text In Snaps Than Allowed
This is one of my favorite tricks in Snapchat. I’ve always cursed Snapchat for this restriction while retyping everything just to fit into that tiny limited number of characters allowed in a snap. To execute this cool snapchat trick, first open a note in your phone.
Select a few lines of black text and copy it to the clipboard. While adding a snap, paste this black text. Congratulations, you’ve created a room of more text than allowed. Write your heart out in that snap.
6. Add Custom Friend Emoji Description
If you already know what is friend emoji, then I must say you’re an active user of Snapchat. It’s basically the emoji’s that you assign for every friend in your list. Each of these emojis mean something. You can check what emojis mean here.
What if you get to add custom friend emoji and specify a unique description for the same. I would personally be flattered if someone took the pain to assign an emoji for me and then write a nice description for it. You can do this under Settings>>Manage.
