Other features
You can change the focus while recording by tapping on the screen at the point where you want to shift the focus. In addition to this, you can also zoom in and out while recording by using pinch gestures. Snapchat allows you to add stickers to the recorded video and you can also use the presets or filters available in the application. You can switch the flash on/off while recording by tapping on the flash button on the top.
You can also use location-based filters if you have granted Snapchat the required permissions. These filters, as the name suggests, are specific to certain locations and can be applied to your snaps by tapping and holding by one finger and swiping on the screen by another.
