Lightning Snaps Explained in Detail

Snapchat has always been creative in providing different and interesting features. However, the only drawback is that you must have a Snapchat+ membership to use these additional creative features. Have you noticed that some people send snaps whose duration is below 1 second? Do not be amazed; this is another Snapchat+ feature known as Lightning Snaps.

If you share a Lightning Snap with your friends, it will be so much fun because they have to watch it 4 or 5 times to see what you have sent them.

How to Make A Lightning Snap?

Before proceeding further, make sure you are a Snapchat+ user; if you are, follow the below-given steps to make a Lightning Snap-

• First of all, open Snapchat and take a photo as you normally take.
• After clicking the photo, a lot of options appear on the screen; tap on the timer icon (The last option on the right side).
• Now, by default, the timing is set to 1 second; you have to scroll down until you see the 0.10 Seconds, 0.25 Seconds, 0.50 Seconds timing, and choose your preferred duration.

That’s it! Now your Lightning Snap is ready, and you can send it to your friends.
