How to Capture and Edit a 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…

1. Tap on the Snap and drag the edges to trim it
2. Tap the scissors ✂️ and drag up to split the Snap
3. If you split the Snap, you can tap ✖️ to remove segments
4. 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 😓
