The character's impending death comes in Wednesday's installment of "Life with Archie," a spin-off series that centres on grown-up renditions of Archie and his Riverdale pals. If that’s the case, maybe just don’t take the picture from the neck down.For most of Archie Andrew's life, the red-headed comic book icon's biggest quandary was whether he liked Veronica or Betty. Somehow, some way, someone (everyone) is going to see it. (Then again, no one wants to see it anywhere.) But no one wants to see your shitty pictures of what you’re having for lunch on Snapchat. You’d be forgiven if you thought the two apps were similar thanks to Instagram’s new Story feature. It’s a good way to end up with a Darwin Award.ĭon’t use Snapchat like you would Instagram. We get it, you like beer and face-swapping with pictures on your phone. This means that if you don’t have a Snapchat relationship with someone, in which you’re sending each other photos and videos privately, it’s not a good idea to obsessively stalk their content. People can tell who has watched their stories. RELATED: 8 Good Reasons to Quit Twitter Now Read article That said, if they’re longer than a few seconds, no one’s going to watch the entire thing. It’s a lot easier than selecting individual friends to send your Snapchats to each time.

But if you have a dog, by all means keep sending snaps of your dog, because everyone loves dogs. Your boring daily routine is not suddenly exciting when it is shared online, it’s magnified. Your finger changing channels on the remote. It’s a lot like Instagram before people started curating their feeds more.

That time you swapped faces with your girlfriend and everyone thought it was hilarious (Nice beard, Anne!)? That only works once. Here’s how not to be that guy on Snapchat.Ĭool, you changed the pitch of your voice for the millionth time because you did it once when you were out drinking with your buddies, and at first it was super funny to turn your face into a cartoon dog who keeps licking the camera. That simple process can make for fun, entertaining bits of social comedy - but you wouldn’t know it by looking at most users who share boring and annoying day-to-day posts.
If you need a quick breakdown, here’s how it works: You snap, modify, and send photographs and videos to your followers, who can look at your message any time after they receive it, but it’s only visible to them for an amount of time that you specify, often 10 seconds or less. (Especially because they probably took a screenshot.) Snapchat’s functionality is straightforward. Just because the pictures disappear doesn’t mean your friends will respect you tomorrow.
