Here are a few Snapchat features that Aatman recommends:

Shared Story

This feature lets you create a Story that your friends—and their friends—can contribute to. It’s still private, but with a slightly bigger circle. Great for collaboration and connecting with more people in your extended network.

Custom Filters

From birthday parties to college fests, Snapchat allows users to design their own Geofilters or Community Filters. It’s a simple way to add a personal touch to your content and get others involved too.

Polls and Q&As

Want to hear directly from your followers? Snapchat’s Polls and Q&A stickers are great for starting conversations and getting real-time responses straight from your audience.

Creative Tools

Doodles, stickers, text—you know the drill. But used smartly, these tools can take your Snap from average to eye-catching. Play around with layout and design to make your content stand out.

Snap Sounds

Add a track, a soundbite from a movie, or even your own audio. Sounds can give your Snaps more context, mood, or just make them more fun to watch.

Director Mode

If you’re looking for more polished, professional-looking videos, Director Mode has the advanced tools you need. It’s especially helpful for creators trying to experiment with storytelling or longer-form video.

At the end of the day, Aatman says it’s all about experimenting and having fun. “Try things out. See what clicks with you—and with your audience. That’s what helped me shape the kind of content I now enjoy making.”

Whether you’re a casual Snapchatter or someone building a serious content flow, these tools might be worth exploring to make your creative process easier and more exciting.
