We all love Snapchat, and turns out they love us too because Snapchat keeps rolling out new features on the app to make their social network more fun for users. The newest feature is Snapchat’s remix feature where users get to record a video in response to a friend’s snap.
This remix Snap feature has been rolled out for both Android and iPhone users, it’s Snapchat’s new way to let users interact and react to snaps and stories from friends.
Snapchat’s remix allows users blend their original video with that of someone else as a reaction to the friend’s snap. Users can create new snaps that allows them build on a friend’s snap or from old snaps in their memories.
This feature is similar to TikTok’s duet feature where Tiktokers get to record a video and place their clips next to the video they are replying to. Similarly on Snapchat, when you record a snap remix, you can select different formats like if video should appear next to the other snap or in the corner of the original clip.
Although it can’t measure up to TikTok duets and Instagram’s reels, it’s a private way to react to your friends latest updates, and relive your old Snap memories.
