NAVIGATION - How To Use Snapchat (& Start Creating Content)

NAVIGATION

Now that you’ve got your account opened up, the real work begins:  Understanding Snapchat’s swipe labyrinth of navigation.  While the initial screens you see in the app may or may not cause too much confusion, you’ll soon realize that swiping up, down, left, or right on just about any screen will take you to another screen – and that’s where things can get complicated.

The easiest way to understand Snapchat’s navigation is to see a physical representation of its layout.  Below, I’ve laid out the most prominent screens next to each other to show you how to move around within the app.  You’ll notice I’ve named each screen, and you can use this image for reference when I talk about various screens and their functionality in the rest of this chapter.
