You no longer need to hold your finger down to record or view Snapchats​, thanks to a nifty iPhone settings feature. 

Simply by changing your iPhone Accessibility options you'll be able to trick the app into doing the work for you. No more awkward, one-handed snapping. (Gif by Yogopanda - http://yogopanda.tumblr.com) There are only 8 steps. Do this real quick and you'll never have to worry about it again:
  1. Open up the Settings in your iPhone and click on General
  2. While in General, select "Accessibility"
  3. Once you're in the Accessibility section, scroll down to "AssistiveTouch"
  4. Switch the feature on
  5. Open Snapchat and you will see a grey dot appear
  6. Tap the grey dot followed by 'custom'
  7. Select your new Gesture. Drag it onto the record button
  8. You can now record hands-free
