Chatting with Snapchat 

1. Update your Snapchat app. The latest version of Snapchat includes the new Chat 2.0 features. In order to use them, both you and the recipient will need to be running the latest version of Snapchat.
   • You can check for app updates in the Google Play Store or the iOS App Store on your device.
2. Open the sent and received Snaps section of Snapchat. Tap the button in the lower-left corner or swipe from the left side of the screen to open your inbox.
3. Tap the "Chat" button in the upper-right corner. This will open a list of all of your Snapchat contacts.
4. Tap the user you want to chat with. This will open the chat screen.
5. Enter text using the keyboard. You can type messages like you would most chat programs using the onscreen keyboard.
6. Tap the "Photos" button to open your phone's gallery. You can send pictures that you have saved on your phone using this.
7. Tap the "Phone" button to place an audio call. The recipient will be notified that they are receiving a call and can answer.
