Sending a Snapchat video to another user is really fun! Mostly because you have the chance to use filters that already come integrated with the Snapchat app.

There are many types of filters that you can use: photo filters, stickers, video filters, and more.

Filters already exist on other apps, so there is nothing new here.

However, Snapchat gives you the possibility to reverse videos without having to download anything - just search for the reversed video filter, and you will be good to go!

In today’s article, we are going to show you everything you must know about these topics:

  • How to reverse a video on Snapchat;
  • Understanding the reverse filter on a Snapchat video;
  • Best ways to use the reverse filter on video Snaps.

What Does “Reverse Video” Mean on Snapchat?

The Reverse Filter video on Snapchat is a common filter on the app that allows you to immediately reverse the actions recorded on a video.

Therefore, the video will play backward, which looks really fun and cool.

Snapchat has a powerful editing mode that Privates and Public Profiles on Snapchat can use on the app’s screen without major inconveniences.

When to Use the Reverse Video Filter on Snapchat

Recording a video Snap and reversing it can be used in different scenarios.

Imagine that you just did something fun, and want to share it with your friends, but you want them to watch it backwards. Use the reverse filter!

It can also be used to create funny memes and clever videos.

Snapchat gives total creative freedom to Snapchatters when it comes to filters.

Since “Reverse” is a built-in filter, you don’t need to look for it. Likewise, “Fast Motion” and more effects can be found on the app’s screen easily.

Pro Tip: Did you just tap your Story Viewers, and see a message that says “Other Snapchatters”?

Step 1: Open Snapchat

Firstly, you need to open the Snapchat app on your phone.

It works the same way on iPhone and Android, so you are free to choose whichever version you like.

Just open the app, and proceed with the following steps.

Step 2: Record a New Video Clip

Now, you need to record a video. As you know, you can capture moments on the main Snap screen, so you don’t need to tap anywhere else.

Simply keep tapping the shutter button for a while on the camera screen, and the video will get recorded.

This is the same circle icon you use to take photos with, so no major complications will appear here.

Remember that the video needs to be short enough - otherwise, you won’t be able to apply filters to it.

Step 3: Swipe Left Until You Find the Reverse Filter

After you have recorded the video, we can now proceed to reverse it. On the Video Snap Preview screen, you need to swipe left multiple times.

Some users need to swipe left just 8 times, and some others must swipe left 15 times until the reverse filter appears.

Then, you will see three reverse arrows - this means that you have found the filter! These three arrows pointing backwards (or three triangles icon, depending on how you want to see it), will let you reverse a video by tapping them.

Step 4: Send Reverse Snapchat Videos to Your Friends!

Apply the filter, and you will see the video you just created is reversed now.

Play it, watch it, and add more stickers or effects if you please. Make sure that everything is okay, and tap “Send” once you are ready to share it with others.

As it happens when you Send a Picture as Snap, you can indeed save this video to your phone storage.

This means that you can edit it later, or simply share it via another social media platform if you want.

That’s how you reverse a video on Snapchat! It’s extremely easy, isn’t it? If you liked this piece of content, you can get more similar information here, at GrowFollowing.
