A shortcut makes it super easy to send a Snap to multiple people. In addition, it comes in handy for maintaining a long Snapstreak. We explain in detail how to create such a shortcut in Snapchat.

When you regularly send Snaps (a video or photo) to different friends in Snapchat, you actually have to create a shortcut. You can then select the entire group at once to send the Snap.
This also makes it easier to keep up your Snapchat streak, because you can no longer accidentally forget one of your friends. You can read how to create a shortcut in Snapchat on your iPhone in the step-by-step plan below.
