Download the free Snapchat app. Go to the App Store (for iOS Apple) or the Google Play Store (for Android) and download. Create an account. Open the Snapchat app and tap “Sign up.” Enter your birthday, add your email address, and create a password. Create a username. Pick a username that represents your name or brand. Snapchat will show you available usernames once you’ve typed in what you want. Pro tip: Pick something you won’t regret later. You cannot change your username without getting a new account. Verify that you’re a human. Snapchat requires you to go through a verification process to ensure that automated accounts aren’t being created. Scan your contacts.
Snapchat will automatically scan your contact list for people that have made their Snapcode searchable. Add the people you’d like to befriend on Snapchat. Once they add you back you can exchange Snaps. If you don’t want to be visible to your contacts, you can change your privacy settings. Take a Snapcode selfie. Tap on your Snapcode and your Snapcode selfie screen will automatically pop up. Tap on the camera and it will take five photos, which will appear in sequence for your profile picture. (Remember, this can be seen by anyone trying to add you, so keep it appropriate!)
