How Do You Use Snapchat Spectacles
Snapchat Spectacles work with the Snapchat app, and though they don’t take pictures or videos and save them directly to your phone, through the Snapchat app the process is designed to be effortless. While wearing your charged, connected Spectacles, press the button on the Spectacles to take a 10-second video; press it twice to take a 20-second video, and press it three times to take a 30-second video. Press and hold either button on your Spectacles to take a picture.
How Do You Access Snaps on Spectacles
Snapchat Spectacles work with the Snapchat app on iOS and Android. On most Android devices, connected Spectacles, after they’ve taken Snaps, will automatically upload their stored Snaps to the Memories tab in the Snapchat app. From there, they can be edited and sent off as Snaps to your friends or assigned to your Snapchat Story. On iOS, connected Spectacles, after they’ve taken Snaps, will pop a notification telling the user Snaps are ready to be imported, taking the user to the Memories tab in the Snapchat app where an option to import Snaps will appear. From Memories, Snaps can be edited and sent off as Snaps to your friends or assigned to your Snapchat Story. After Snaps appear in the Snapchat app, i.e. they’ve been uploaded off Spectacles and onto your phone, they will automatically be deleted off the Spectacles themselves.
Tips on Using Snapchat Spectacles
Since everything happens on the Spectacles directly, until Snaps are uploaded to your phone, you won’t know when recording stops unless you pay attention to your Spectacles. Once recording begins on Spectacles, an LED on the inside of the glasses you’ll be able to see will appear. An LED will also light up on the outside of the glasses when recording to alert those around you you’re recording. Right before a 10-second or 20-second recording ends, the LED on the inside will flash, and you can press the Spectacles button again to add ten seconds of recording time. Snaps taken on Spectacles are taken in circles, meaning that on a phone, if you rotate your phone all 360 degrees of rotation will show more of the Snap.
