How to reverse a video on Snapchat using the reverse filter
1. Open your Snapchat app to the camera screen, and capture a video by holding down the shutter button in the center of the screen.
2. Once you've captured the video, swipe to find the reverse filter effect. The easiest way to find this is to immediately swipe to the left. When you've reached it, the filter will briefly show three arrows pointing to the left.
3. You can then send the video to others immediately, save the video using the downward arrow icon, or add more filters by tapping the icon on the right that looks like three stacked squares.
