What Are Lightning Snaps?
Snapchat allows the snap timing from 1 second to infinity(∞). But in a lightning snap, you can set the snap timing below 1 second, like 0.10 seconds, 0.25 seconds, or 0.50 seconds. But, only Snapchat+ members can set the snap timing below 1 second.
If you send a lightning snap to your friend, he has to work a little bit hard to see what was in the snap or rewatch it 2 to 3 times.
Steps to Send Lightning Snaps
The process of clicking and sending a lightning snap is very easy and the same as you send normal snaps.
- First, click a photo by opening the Snapchat app.
- Now, on the right side of the screen, select the timer icon located at the bottom of the options.
- Scroll down until you see the .50 .25 seconds duration option that is in the golden color.
- After selecting the snap duration, tap on the back button icon, and that’s it.
Now, you can share this snap with anyone or even put it in your story.
