As an avid Snapchat user, I’ve always wanted to find a way to record videos without having to hold down the record button. It can be quite frustrating when you’re trying to capture a moment but your finger starts to ache after holding the button for too long. After some research and experimentation, I’ve discovered a few methods that can help you record on Snapchat without holding the button. Let’s dive into the details!
Method 1: Using Assistive Touch (iOS)
If you’re an iPhone user, you’re in luck! iOS has a built-in accessibility feature called Assistive Touch that can be used to solve our problem. Here’s how you can enable and use it:
- Go to your device’s Settings and then tap on “Accessibility”.
- Scroll down and select “Touch”.
- Tap on “AssistiveTouch” and toggle the switch to turn it on.
- A small gray square icon will appear on your screen. Tap on it to open the AssistiveTouch menu.
- Tap on “Customize Top Level Menu”.
- Add a new icon by tapping on the “+” button.
- Choose “Screen Recording” from the list of options.
- Now, whenever you want to record on Snapchat without holding the button, simply tap on the AssistiveTouch icon, then tap on “Screen Recording”. The recording will start, and you can freely navigate through Snapchat without worrying about holding the button.
Method 2: Using third-party apps (Android)
If you’re an Android user, there isn’t a built-in feature like Assistive Touch on iOS. However, you can still achieve the same result by using third-party apps that provide this functionality. One popular app is “Auto Clicker – Auto Tapper” which can automate screen taps. Here’s how you can use it:
- Download and install the “Auto Clicker – Auto Tapper” app from the Google Play Store.
- Open the app and grant the necessary permissions.
- Set up the auto clicker by selecting the appropriate settings such as interval time and duration.
- Open Snapchat and position the auto clicker over the record button.
- Enable the auto clicker, and it will automatically tap on the record button at the specified interval, allowing you to record without holding the button.
Conclusion
Recording on Snapchat without having to hold down the button is a game-changer for many users. Whether you’re an iPhone user taking advantage of Assistive Touch or an Android user using a third-party app, these methods can save you from finger strain and make recording videos a breeze.
Remember to use these methods responsibly and respect the privacy of others while using Snapchat. Happy Snapping!
