What is Snapchat?

Snapchat is a 13+ platform that offers people a different way to communicate – to share the moment, in the moment, and to help people feel together even when they are physically far apart. Snapchat has become one of the world’s largest and most popular communications platforms based on the conviction that people would be drawn to a service that focuses on bringing them closer to their friends and family.

How does Snapchat work?

Learn how Snapchat helps Snapchatters connect and communicate in a healthy and safe environment.

Kamera

Snapchat åpner til et kamera, noe som gjør det utrolig enkelt å ta og dele en Snap for å kommunisere visuelt. Snapchattere kan bruke våre AR-linser for å legge morsomme og lærerike lag på verden, og bli kreative ved å legge på tekst, klistremerker og mer. Snapchattere kan dele Snapper med venner i samtaler eller dele Snapper til Stories, som er synlige for alle venner som standard.

Slik lager du en Snap:

Trykk på kameraknappen for å ta en bilde-Snap.
Trykk og hold på kameraknappen for å lage en video-Snap.
Trykk på snu-ikonet for å bytte mellom selfie- og bakovervendt kamera. (Proff-tips – du kan også dobbelttrykke på skjermen for å bytte kamera!)
Legg til tekst, musikk, morsomme klistremerker og mer ... og trykk deretter på send!

Snapper er ment å være morsomme, kreative måter for deg å dele øyeblikk og fange minner med de som står deg nærmest. Vær alltid bevisst på hva du Snapper og hvem du sender Snapper til.

Chat

Snapchatters can talk to friends and family using text, stickers, and Snaps (pictures and videos!). Snapchatters can see when their friend has entered a chat with them, just like they can tell if their friends are actively listening in real life, and Snapchatters can see when friends have opened a Snap.

Chats delete by default to mirror real life conversations, where what you say or do isn’t recorded forever. In chat you can also make voice or video calls, and join group conversations.

Content

Snapchatters can learn about the world by watching content from friends, produced by trusted media publishers and Creators.

Content Safety Efforts:

In these sections of the app, we take special precautions to limit the ability for unmoderated content to be shared widely. We use proactive detection tools and additional review processes to help make sure public content complies with our guidelines before it can get broadcast to a larger audience.

Specifically for teens on Snapchat, we have extra protections in place to help make sure they have an age-appropriate content experience.

Snap Map

Snap Map is an interactive way for Snapchatters to share their favorite spots, discover new places, and see what their friends are up to.

Snap Map Safety Tips:

Location sharing on the Snap Map is off by default for all Snapchatters. Snapchatters must opt in to share their location, and they are only able share their location with their accepted friends. They have the option to share with all friends or a select only specific friends.
Snapchatters can also share content to Snap Map to show the broader community what is happening in their area. Teens’ posts to the Snap Map don’t display their usernames. Snapchatters over 18 can choose not to display their usernames by adjusting the relevant toggle at time of posting.
Cities or areas with high population density typically have a hot spot around them on the Snap Map. Content submitted to Snap Map must comply with our Community Guidelines.
