Snapchat Tips
1. Activate cool features in your settings.
First, make sure you have an up-to-date version of Snapchat downloaded on your device. To download the latest version of the app, visit the Google Play or iTunes store.
Once the app is updated, open it up. Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner of your feed, and then tap "Manage" under "Additional Services."
2. Resurrect old lenses by changing the date on your phone.
Really miss the puking rainbow or demon lenses? Though Snapchat swaps in new lenses each day, you can revert to previous ones that have disappeared by changing the date in your device's main settings.
On iOS, go to Settings —> General —> Date & Time and turn off "set automatically." On Android, go to Settings —> Date & Time and uncheck "automatic date and time."
Then, choose the date that offered the lenses you want to use again (if you want a look at the first batch, go back to Sept. 15, 2015, the day of the update). Remember, it's probably not a good idea to leave your phone on the wrong date long-term, as it could mess with other apps. So once you're done snapping, change your settings back to automatic.
3. Secure your account with two-step verification.
To add an extra layer of security to your Snapchat account, enable login verification. Once you do so, you won't be able to log in to your account from a new device until you enter a code sent to you via SMS.
Go to the app's settings and select "login verification" to set this up. You can also change the number associated with the account, if you prefer to get verification codes sent to an alternate number.
4. Add fun filters.
Snapchat's latest upgrade allows you to add Instagram-like filters, art and other data labels to your snap. Just swipe your finger left or right to preview each filter. Here's a rundown of all the filters offered.
