Snapchat launched in September 2011. Feels like we've been snapping forever, right?

Snapchat hit the scene in September 2011. I'm still addicted to those filters!

September 2011. Those disappearing messages have been around a while!

Open Snapchat, swipe up to access Memories, and then swipe left to find My Eyes Only. It's like hiding secrets in plain sight!

Getting to My Eyes Only is easy on Snapchat. Swipe up to Memories, then swipe left to find it. Just enter your passcode!

Go to Memories, swipe left to My Eyes Only, and enter your passcode. Boom, you're in!

Swipe up from the camera screen, swipe left to My Eyes Only, enter your passcode, and you're golden!

Honestly? Just swipe up to Memories, swipe left to My Eyes Only, and enter your passcode. Couldn't be simpler.

Open Snapchat, swipe right to go to the Chat screen, and then tap on the new chat icon. Select multiple friends, name your group, and you're set!

I do this all the time! Just swipe right, hit the new chat icon, pick your friends, name the group, and start snapping away!

Just click the chat icon, pick friends, give your group a cool name, and boom, group chat ready!

Click the chat icon, choose some friends, name it. Done.

Group chats are easy: go to the chat screen, tap on the new chat icon, select friends, and name your group.

SB stands for 'Snap Back,' meaning someone wants you to reply to their snap.

Snap Back. It's like they're saying, 'Hey, snap me back, bro!'

If it's a Snap you sent, just press and hold on it, then hit 'Save in Chat' or 'Save to Camera Roll.' Easy peasy!

Hold down on the Snap you want to save, then tap the 'Save' button in the bottom right corner. Done and done!

Honestly, just screen record the video! Most phones have built-in screen recording now. Problem solved before it starts!

Legit tip: tap and hold the video, then save. You can find it in your Memories afterward.

In my experience, NFS typically means 'Need For Speed'. Everyone loves a good racing game shoutout, right?

NFS usually means 'Not For Sale' when people use it on Snapchat. It's often used when posting something that looks valuable or desirable.

Once a Snapchat message is opened and disappears, it's gone for good! Make sure to save anything important before it's too late.

Hot take: Why would you even want to? The whole point of Snapchat is that stuff doesn't stick around.

In my experience, some deleted messages can still appear in your account data download. It takes a bit of digging, though!

You can recover unopened messages by logging into your account on a different device, but opened ones are like a magician's trick—poof!

Sadly, Snapchat doesn't let you change your username directly. You'd have to create a new account with your desired username and add all your friends again.

Sorry, Snapchat usernames are permanent. Your best bet is to create a new account if it really matters.

Trust me, I've been through this. Best you can do is update your Display Name to something you like.

You can't change your Snapchat username, but you can change your Display Name! Head to your profile, tap on your current name, and edit away. It'll update how others see you without needing a new username.

Besties on Snapchat means you and that person are each other's #1 Best Friend. Basically, you send the most snaps to each other!

Besties? Just Snapchat's way of saying you guys are snap BFFs. Simple as that.

You can't change your Snapchat username, but you can change your display name that friends see. Just go to the settings and update it there.

Yes! You can change your display name. Just go to your profile, tap on the settings gear, and edit your name. Easy peasy!

Nope, you can't change your username. Pick wisely next time!

I've changed my display name tons of times! Hit up your profile settings, and it's right there. Quick and simple!

Yep, Snapchat messages disappear after being viewed. That's part of what makes it fun!

Yes, Snapchat messages vanish after the recipient sees them because that's its main feature.

They sure do! Once you open a Snap or message, it's gone unless you save it.

Yup, they disappear! But you can save chats if you want to keep them longer.

Snapchat lets you have 8 best friends max. These folks get special emoji next to their names.

You can have up to 8 best friends on Snapchat! They're the ones you snap the most.

Eight best friends. That’s it. No more, no less.

Just found out you can have 8 best friends on Snapchat.
