  9. Install the Snapchat Beta
  10. Open Snapchat and you’ll see a notification that you are in the beta.

Start using the new Snapchat update features before the rest fo the world. Keep in mind that this may be buggier than the version you had installed previously. You can check out Snapchat problems and fixes to try and solve any issues that you encounter, but not all of these will work on the beta.

If you use Snapchat to manage an account for work, it’s a good idea to avoid the Snapchat beta since there may be some issues that you run into. You can leave the Snapchat beta as easily as you joined.

Go tot Snapchat settings and then scroll down to Snapchat beta and tap on it. On the next screen tap on Opt-out to leave the Snapchat beta. You will need to uninstall the app, wait a few minutes and then re-install the normal Snapchat app.

    There is no iOS Snapchat beta? Yes, there is. You have to sign up for it at Snapchat, then download it through Apple’s TestFlight app.
