One of our favorite social media apps is Snapchat. You can use it to connect with your friends and anyone from all over the world, send silly photos, chat, and even make an audio or video call.
Snapchat is so much fun. It is also versatile. There’s always something new being added to Snapchat. Whether it’s new filters, lenses or functionality, everything is fine. And one feature that is really useful is the ability to use Snapchat with one hand. This includes zooming in with both hands, probably not knowing there was any other way. To do this task, you used to need two hands: one for holding the record button and the other for pinching the screen to zoom in and out.
Let’s take a look at how you can zoom in with one hand on Snapchat.
Instant Zoom
You probably already know, to save a video on Snapchat, you hold down the “Save” button to capture a video. The one-handed zoom feature depends on it.
Here’s how to do it.
- Set your smartphone’s camera to selfie mode or use the front camera within the Snapchat app.
- Then press and hold the button in the bottom center of the screen to start recording.
- While holding this button, move your finger upwards to zoom in.
- If you want to zoom out, move your finger down while in recording mode.
This is how you do one-handed zooming with Snapchat. You can use it to add some flair to your selfie videos or creep others out from afar. Now you can do everything as needed more efficiently and dramatically when using the Snapchat app.
So one-handed zooming on Snapchat is a good thing. Now that you know how to do that, step forward and shoot great video frames.
