How to record a Snapchat video without hands on iPhone
From your iPhone, go to Settings –> General –> Accessibility. Under “Interactiotion” section, select AssistiveTouch.
Turn AssistiveTouch by swap it, then tap on Create New Gesture. Press and hold on the screen until the blue bar is finish, then give the gesture a name, i’am giving it name Jdir just to make it simple and quick.
Now open your Snapchat app to record a video, after you created a new gesture, you will see this little transparent icon hovering, tap on it, and then tap on the star icon called Custom and select Jdr or the name of the gesture you have created before.
Move the little black circle icon to the Snapchat record button to begin recording a Snapchat video, loose your finger and it will push the button for you. Now you can freely move your hands while recording the video:
How to record a Snapchat video without hands on Android
What about Android? there is no AssistiveTouch in Android, so how to create a Snapchat video with hands free using Android phone? Yes, it is possible to do it and even a lot easier. So i am using Samsung S4 to run Snapchat, here is what i am doing:
You can also use the volume button as the shutter to record a video. Get a hair tie or rubberband and stretch over the top of the phone. Launch your Snapchat app and move the rubberband until it hold down the volume button, and your hands is free to move around while taking a Snapchat video.
Thanks for Matt Berger on youtube for this genius and brilliant idea.
my iphone isn’t holding the assistive touch, it’s just pressin and letting go so Snapchat takes a picture, but no video
You have to put the little icon on the video button and let it go , my iPhone did it also
What do I do !? Mine does the same ? Pls help
It works for me, unfortunately it only holds for 6 secs max.
Not working with samsung s4…
I can’t get the thing off and I have to restart my phone afterwards
its not working for me n i have a android
It’s only taking a picture not a video and that what I’m trying to do is take a video not a picture
Does it record for longer the 6 seconds?
nope, the duration is just the same when you record with your finger
Untrue. It it 10 secs of snap with your finger
Oh no, my bad. There is a way you can record for 10 seconds using this method!
Does not work it just take a picture
have you try the rubber band trick?
Mine doesn’t work just takes a picutre?
Tip for people having trouble and just taking a pic. Move your finger around a little while creating the gesture so the phone knows you are still recording your gesture and it will not end after a second of not moving. I had to go back and change mine after the first go around
thanks for the tip 🙂
Please mine is not working it’s taking s picture and not a video what do I do.please
what phone you are using? iPhone or android?
Does not work it just takes a picture
For me, it works but the Assisstiv touch allow like 6 seconds max maybe.. Cant take a full length video on snapchat…
Samsung S 7 actually does have assistive touch but must not have an option to capture hands free….
So everyone listen after u enable assistive touch press the square then press custom and click the one that u named in the right top corner 😉
