The Remix feature on Snapchat allows you to react to your friends' Snaps and Stories using your mobile device. You can also react to your own posted Snaps. This works similarly to the Duet feature on TikTok and is a great way to show a video with your reaction simultaneously. You can easily do this by long-pressing on a Snap and tapping "Remix Snap". This wikiHow will show you how to remix Snaps and Stories on the Snapchat app using your iPhone or Android device.

Things You Should Know
