Over the years, Snapchat has remained a very popular social medium for many reasons. In 2023, it crossed over 750 million monthly users, and its growth hasn't slowed since then. Most believe this is because of how simple its concept is.

Take a picture or make a video with a fun filter of your choice and you're done.

It allows you to check on friends and know what people are up to without, going through the ritual of establishing an awkward conversation. It even helps you keep count of how regularly you and your friend have sent proofs of life to each other via their "streak" system.

Snapchat grows to 750 million monthly active users
Snap, the parent company of social media app Snapchat, announced at its Investor Day event on Thursday that its monthly active users (MAUs) have grown to over 750 million, a significant milestone for the company. This figure places Snapchat ahead of competitors such as Pinterest, which has 450 million MAUs.

Because of how easy it is to start and maintain streaks, it is not uncommon for one person to keep streaks with hundreds of people at the same time. Selecting each one to send a snap to can be exhausting, this is why Snapchat incorporated "shortcuts", a way to mass select your friends after organising them under a shortcut just once.

This guide will show you how to create a shortcut so you don't have to go through the long bore of tapping each name, one by one.
