A big Snapchat update is coming, bringing a redesign and new features to the Snapchat app you know and love. This is how you can join the Snapchat beta so you can test all the new Snapchat features right now and gain a few more followers as you master these new features first.
You will need an Android phone to participate in the Snapchat beta. It’s available to anyone with an Android, but no iPhone Snapchat beta. If you have a spare Android phone, you can try out the new Snapchat features, but this will cause you to exit the Snapchat app on your iPhone.
Learn how to join the Snapchat beta to test new features.

Get started with the new Snapchat update features for the rest of the world. Note that this may be buggy than the version you previously installed. You can browse Snapchat issues and fixes to fix the issues you’re encountering, but not all of them will work in beta.
If you’re using Snapchat to manage an account for work, it’s a good idea to avoid the Snapchat beta as there may be some issues you encounter. You can leave the Snapchat beta as easily as you join.
