Snapchat users have been able to use video calling since 2014. Snapchat wanted to be the app of choice for video chatting, so they set out to add various features to make it fun. Judging by the fact that millions of users like this feature and use it daily, we can say that promoting it is a good idea.
No matter how popular it is, there are some things that confuse people about Snapchat video calling. Here we’ll go into some basic questions users have, starting with the way Snapchat shows up on your phone bill.
Will Your Detailed Phone Bill Show Snapchat Calls?
Since you need an Internet connection to use Snapchat, there are two scenarios here: Wi-Fi and mobile data. If you’re using Wi-Fi, no information about your Snapchat activity will appear on your phone bill. This applies to all social media platforms as well as any other app that doesn’t use your phone number.
When you use mobile data, all you’ll see on your phone bill is the amount of data Snapchat uses. There is no information about what you are doing on Snapchat, just the amount of data used.
This answers the other common question about whether your phone bill will include information from people you contact on Snapchat. Worried about reviewing the phone bill for your parents or worse, your significant other to find out what you’re doing on Snapchat?
The answer is “no” because all information is based on usernames, not phone numbers. Even apps like WhatsApp that use your phone number won’t show up on your phone bill, only in your phone’s previous call list.
“Watch” and “Join”
As mentioned, Snapchat wanted to make sure its video chat feature was unique. One of the things that sets Snapchat apart is the different ways to respond to a call.
When someone calls you and you go To join, you will start a normal two-way chat. But there are two more options. if you go Watch, you will be able to see the person you are talking to but they will not be able to see you. You can also do this by tapping the green camera icon.
When you want to end the call, simply tap the same camera icon you use to make the call. Keep in mind, though, that the call isn’t over until you both hang up.
Tips for Making the Most of Snapchat Calls
There are all kinds of micro features that make Snapchat calling easy and fun. Some of those:
- Double tap to switch between cameras – While on a video call, you can switch between the rear and front cameras by tapping anywhere on the screen.
- add stickers – Snapchat allows you to add stickers that all participants in the video chat can see. just open smiling face Go to the tab and browse through the hundreds of stickers you can add and move around on the screen.
