Doing a Snapchat Face Swap
Let’s start your first face swap.
Saving a Swap
You can capture the Snapchat funny faces by tapping the shutter button (the circular button at the bottom center of the screen). If you press and hold the button, you can record a video. Once you have saved your Snapchat faces, you can have even more fun with them. You can add text, stickers or text to your pic using the Pencil, Sticker or Text buttons. Share the picture by tapping Send and selecting friends you want to send it to. Tapping Add to My Story lets you share the snap for 24 hours. You can also tap Download to save the image to your device.
How to Face Swap With Your Camera Roll
Nobody around for you to swap faces with? No problem! You can use this feature with pictures saved on your device, although the steps are slightly different. After starting Snapchat and mapping your face, swipe to and select the purple face swap lens effect showing a camera and a smiley face. Tap Allow or OK if prompted that Snapchat needs access to your camera for photos you have stored. Snapchat will scan your camera roll for faces and present you with the options it finds. Swipe through the images and tap on the one you want to use. Snapchat will then swap your face with the one in the photo. As with a two-person face swap, you can snap, record, edit, share or save the swap to enjoy the next time you need a good chuckle.
