How to Access 30-Second Snaps Taken on Spectacles
On Spectacles paired with an Android device, it’s likely the recordings will automatically be uploaded to your phone and be accessible in the Memories tab in the Snapchat app. On Spectacles paired with an iOS device, open the Memories tab of the Snapchat app and tap the Import button that appears at the top of the screen; then, your Snaps will appear in Memories as well. Once Snaps appear in Memories in the Snapchat app, they’re deleted off Spectacles, freeing up storage space.
Tips for Taking 30-Second Snaps on Spectacles
Snaps taken on Spectacles are shot in circles, meaning when you rotate a phone viewing these Snaps, you’ll see more of the image or video, so you can capture a lot more on Spectacles than you can with your phone. Certain generations of Spectacles support 60 frames-per-second recordings, which normal video Snaps don’t, so you can capture a lot of action and quick camera movements without videos getting too blurry. Spectacles can hold up to 150 videos. Once Snaps taken on Spectacles are accessible on the Snapchat app, the Snaps are deleted off the Spectacles themselves, so you don’t often have to worry about your 30-second Snaps filling up your Spectacles.
