Snapchat’s fun features might be the answer to spicing up your relationship. Read on to discover some smart, fun Snapchat ideas to use with your honey.
Most of you know what Snapchat is, but not many know the benefits of
using such a fun and interactive app. Although it serves as a safe
environment for sending and receiving temporary information like photos,
messages, and videos, it’s also a way for people to grow closer.
Even though the snaps can disappear in as short as 3 seconds or as
long as 24 hours, couples can still use the app to communicate with each
other on a deeper level. Photos may disappear and videos may never be
watched again, but the effects will resonate with each user after each
and every snap.
Snapchat for couples
When Snapchat first came out, millennials were the first to subscribe
to its crazy and innovative concept. People could post photos and
videos without fearing that their information would get lost in the sea
of viewers. If you used Snapchat, you would always know who saw your
snaps and who was brave enough to take a screenshot of your stories and
messages.
Couples can take advantage of these features, not just to send
naughty pics, but also so they can grow closer with their partners. Why?
Because as it turns out, Snapchat can be a helpful communication tool
for couples.
We’re not talking about filtered Instagram posts or orchestrated
Facebook statuses. We’re talking about real-time, honest messages that
can be sent through one of the most interesting apps out there today.
Now, here are some tips that couples can use to make their relationship
more awesome.
#1 Use the app for random conversations. Important
messages need to be archived and saved in computers and phones, but
random conversations would be better off in an app like Snapchat. The
problem with conventional messaging apps is that people are less
inclined to read conversations, especially when they know it’s just
sitting there waiting.
At least with Snapchat, there’s a 10-second period that requires a
person to read the snap before it disappears forever. Talk about
deadlines!
#2 Send your partner a photo using any of the cute and funny lenses. Snapchat
releases a new lens for their camera everyday. These lenses are either
designed to be funny, cute, or scary. Either way, capturing a selfie
using the lens will offer tons of entertaining photos for you and your
partner on a daily basis. And let’s admit it. Who wouldn’t want to use
the puppy dog lens over and over again, right?
#3 Filter your photos using emojis. Research shows
that people who use emojis have better relationships. Imagine how much
your relationship would improve if you started sending photos or selfies
with emojis! Take a picture or video using Snapchat and add an emoji
while you edit.
#4 Use Snapchat instead of Facebook or Instagram when killing time with your partner. When
you and your partner are waiting for the bus or killing time while your
food is being prepared, you can use Snapchat instead of other social
media apps.
Depending on how many followers you have, Snapchat doesn’t suck you
in for long periods of time the way other apps do. You’ll be done
looking at your friends’ stories in as little as two minutes, which
gives you more time to talk to your partner because there isn’t an
endless list of posts waiting to be perused.
#5 Send your partner sexy snaps – very carefully. Of
course you’re going to use Snapchat for this. It was practically
invented for this very purpose! We’re kidding, but this will serve as a
way for you and your partner to spice things up when you’re not
together. Just make sure that you’re not posting the snap on your story.
Triple check it every time, lest you send a sexy snap to everyone or
*gasp* your mother.
#6 Use the app for sexting. If you’re still
reluctant to send photos or videos, you can always sext using the snap’s
messaging feature. The messages will disappear after 24 hours, but you
can still rest assured knowing that none of your friends or family will
accidentally open your phone and find your kinky messages.
#7 Change your name to a sweet message for your partner. Snapchat
allows you to change your display name to whatever you want. Change
your name to a short and sweet message for your partner so that the next
time they check their story feed, they’ll know that your username is
meant just for them.
#8 Send snaps of existing stories. If you and your
partner start getting tired of sending each other random snaps, you can
always use other people’s snaps. Take a screenshot of an interesting
photo and send it through a personal message. Snapchat even has a
feature with exclusive content from different online outlets like
Buzzfeed, IGN, and Tastemade. Funny stuff, food, and videogames – what
else is there to talk about?
#9 Share your moments with your friends and loved ones. Use
Snapchat to document special occasions and dates and post them on your
story. You can always save the photos, but at least this way, you don’t
have to choose which photos to post. Snapchat is all about live updates.
Of course, you can do this with other apps, but Snapchat is a safe
haven where people are not judged on the volume of photos they post.
#10 Save your snaps and turn them into a printed Snapchat album. An
album like this is centered on a theme, which is what albums should be.
You have your Valentine’s album, your Christmas album, your random
concert album – why not a Snapchat album? Using exclusive Snapchat
filters and lenses, you can create an album with unlimited
possibilities. Need a photo with a huge emoji? You got it! Need to throw
up some rainbows? Snapchat has you covered.
#11 Face swap with your partner for a few laughs. I’ve
seen adorable face swaps, scary face swaps, and even weird ones, but
almost all of them will end up being funny. Keep a few face swap photos
for the memories so you can look at them whenever you guys are fighting
or if either of you are having a bad day.
#12 Send your partner random videos of your day. Nothing
beats a photo like a video can. The best part about Snapchat videos is
that you can add lenses and filters. Sending Snapchat videos seems like a
normal thing to do, but sending a nonsensical video of your day is
still sort of entertaining. Who knows? You might get some great footage
of someone slipping on a banana peel. That never happens in real life,
right?
#13 Use Snapchat to send your partner a legit #iwokeuplikethis snap. Show
your partner your true self and they will fall in love with you
forever. Of course, if they break up with you after, they were never
good for you to begin with. This is what people call “relationship
goals,” and it’s a great milestone for any relationship. The best part
is that Snapchat will alert you if your partner took a screenshot, and
if not, it will forever be erased from existence.
