Snapchat features you might not have explored

Snapchat has been quite popular since its launch. The app was the first one to introduce the idea of 'stories' that disappear after 24 hours. While a lot of the social media platforms have also incorporated stories and other features, Snapchat still holds its popularity.

If you are a new user, here are some Snapchat features you might not have explored;

1. Snap Maps

Snap Map shows the location of your friends and allows you to share yours. You can access this feature by clicking on your bitmoji character box and choosing Snapmap from the list. With the help of this feature, you can also explore snaps from various locations around the world by tapping on map hotspots or searching for specific places.

2. Create your filter

One of the ways to do marketing or promotions is to create a personalised Snapchat filter that everyone can use. If you also want to hop on this trend, go to Snapchat's website. Click on Filters and Lenses and create your filter.

3. Use Shazam

It often happens that we randomly hear a song somewhere and are unable to figure out the singer or the song's name to add it to our playlist. Snapchat comes to the rescue here by adding the Shazam feature. When the music is playing, you can identify the song by pressing and holding the camera screen while on the main camera page. Snapchat will attempt to recognize the music through the integrated Shazam feature.

4. Add a URL

If you want to link any website for the people watching your story, Snapchat's link button can come in handy. Take a photo and then click on the paperclip icon on the right side of the screen. Type in a URL, and click on attach to Snap option.
