Long Snap
Need more than 10 seconds to capture the moment? Long Snap lets you capture continuous video Snaps.
Press and hold the Camera button 🔘 to take a Long Snap — keep holding to keep the Snap going!
When you’re done, the Long Snap will appear at the bottom of the Camera screen where you can edit it, add a Filter, and use Creative Tools.
To edit a Long Snap…
- Tap on the Snap and drag the edges to trim it
- Tap the scissors ✂️ and drag up to split the Snap
- If you split the Snap, you can tap ✖️ to remove segments
- Use the Creative Tools, too! They’re applied to every Snap 🎨
When you’re done, save your Long Snap to Memories or send it to a friend or Story. Keep in mind, you can’t separate out a single Snap from a Long Snap.
Long Snaps can’t be looped, reversed, or include 3D stickers at the moment 😬
If you’re having trouble sending a Long Snap to a Story, you can save it to your Memories and try resending each Snap individually.
Please Note: Long Snap may not be available on some devices 😓
