You can adjust the speed of your snaps using filters, including slo-mo, speed up, or reverse. Swipe left or right after taking a video snap to preview these filters (speed up is indicated by a rabbit icon). If you are viewing a video snap and don’t want to wait, you can tap to skip to the next snap in a series. Remember, snaps are deleted forever after viewing, so skip wisely.

  • While editing a video, swipe to browse filters. You will see different symbols representing different video speeds.
  • The Rabbit symbol means your video will speed up.
