How to reverse videos on Snapchat?

You can reverse your Snaps in a few simple steps.

  1. Take a short video using the Snapchat app (under 10 seconds)
  2. Swipe left (about eight times, although it's different based on where you are and the season) until you see three reverse arrows show up over your video
  3. Add any additional text, stickers, drawings, etc. to your Snap
  4. Send away

This may take a little practice, but we have some helpful tips.

First, it's essential to make sure you record the Snap on the Snapchat app itself.

This trick won't work on videos if you're trying to upload them from your phone.

Also, any sounds recorded in the video will play reverse, meaning that depending on how it sounds, you may want to put some music over it.

What other effects can I apply as filters on Snapchat?

You can apply all of the following effects over your video after it's already been taken (which differentiates them from Lenses, which alter your video as you take it, using AI to map out your face).

  • Brighten
  • Sepia
  • High Contrast
  • Black and White
  • Neon
  • Speed Overlay (MPH or KPH)
  • Temperature Overlay
  • Altitude Overlay
  • Time/Date Overlay
  • Location Overlay
  • Slow Speed (video only)
  • Speed Up (video only)
  • Super Speed (video only)
  • Reverse (video only)
  • Special Occasion (Only on certain days or holiday seasons)
  • Location-only filters

How do I apply Lenses to my photos and videos on Snapchat?

If you want to do more to your photos and videos, you can take or film them using Snapchat lenses.

This is arguably one of Snapchat's most popular features.

Press the screen where your face is while using your front-facing camera for selfies.

If you're recording someone else, click on their face using your normal camera.

Your camera will then map your faces.

All available Lenses will show up at the bottom, and the selection changes daily, so you never know how long you'll have them.

Some examples of these were the original Snapchat Lenses, like the one that made you (and a friend, if applicable) into dogs and the one that added a flower crown to your head.
