Snapchat is one of the forerunners in the social media race and is quite frankly the most innovative one. With its user-friendly environment of connecting people, it has turned out to be a favorite amongst many. Not only this but you can also get a number of accounts using FreeAccounts on your favorite application.  It has tons of cool hidden features along with the more prominent ones.

Here are some hacks that would surely keep you out of the “dinosaur” category among your friends, and you’ll be sure to make some of them feel like a dinosaur leaving them awestruck.

Using An Emoji As A Filter

This one caters to all the aesthetic frenzy people. You click the perfect photo of a beautiful sunset that’s in front of you and swipe to put an ideal filer to it. But sadly, snapchat only gives you four basic filters, unlike Instagram.

Choose an emoji and zoom in as much as possible while simultaneously dragging the emoticon to the corner. The border of the emoji will give a light shade of the actual color of the emoticon. So the next time you are making a snap, you will not be stuck with the four basic filters that snapchat gives you.

Utilize Shazam

Ever heard a song and realized it would fit perfectly into that legendary library of yours. But unfortunately, you missed it before you had the chance to look its lyrics online, or even worse, it ended before you could make any sense of the lyrics. Well, that is undoubtedly not going to happen with this crazy hack.

So all you have to do is press and hold anywhere on the screen, and Shazam will look up the song for you. It is that simple to do and quite important too. After all, we all know what a fantastic impact a good song can have on our life.

Photoshop Using The Tint Brush

This happens to be one of the least known snapchat features, which could actually turn out to be pretty useful. If you end up not quite like the shade of the object that you clicked often, then you might want to keep this hack in your mind. Through this tool, we can change the colors of an object that we clicked according to our choice or vibe or aesthetics.

Capture your snap and tap the scissors icon then the paintbrush icon. After that, you have to choose the color you would prefer and also outline the object you would like to recolor.As soon as you lift your finger off your phone screen after describing the purpose, you will get your desired result.

Magic Eraser!!!

If your friend’s obscene hand gesture or a garbage bin in the background is killing the aesthetic vibe of your otherwise perfect snap, then this hack might come in handy. You click an ideal catch but unfortunately find something messing with the vibe of your photo. You might want to erase it by this magic eraser given by snapchat. Maybe that snap could be the one photo for you, which you would have used across all platforms, but an insignificant detail ruining it would completely spoil your mood. 

Well, you are in luck cause it won’t come to that because this feature allows you to cut all those insignificant details out of the picture, after capturing the snap tap on the scissors icon. After that, tap on the multi-star icon and trace the outline of the object you want to erase. You’re done and ready with that perfect snap of yours, which you will be posting across all social media in the coming few days.

Enhancing Your Snap By Changing The Backdrop 

For all the perfectionists and dreamcatchers out there, this one’s for you. If the backdrop of your snap doesn’t wholly describe your mood, this one’s for you. This hack is for all the people out there using snapchat. The backdrop is essential in dictating the whole mood for the picture. If the context isn’t right, the snap would usually be way below the benchmark. So this hack might come to save you in times where a not so ideal backdrop ruins your perfect snap story of the month. 

Capture a Snap and then tap on the scissors icon. After that, tap on the box with the diagonal lines. Next, you have to outline the object you have in front of the backdrop. Snapchat is not judgemental and stubborn, so don’t worry, you will get multiple tries at this. Errors are acceptable and click on the return arrow to undo a mistake and try again. Select your desired backdrop from the menu on the right side of your screen.Once you are delighted with your masterpiece, you can type on the scissors icon again to return to the edit screen.

I hope all these hacks keep you out of the dinosaur zone among your friends and leave them wondering with your artistic skills. These hacks come in handy while using snapchat. After all, you never know when you are going to get that perfect snap to your heart’s desire.
