How to Create a Cameo Selfie from Scratch
Snapchat will take you through the steps to add your face to the stickers and make your first Cameo selfie. Follow the same steps even if you have created a Cameo selfie before.
Open Snapchat and select the Chat icon. Select one friend from the chat list and open a chat with them. You don’t need to share the cameo with them right now. Tap on the smiley icon on the right of the chat message field. Then select the Cameos icon (the outline of a face with a plus sign). Tap any of the Cameo tiles and follow the on-screen instructions to take your first Cameo selfie. The silhouette outline will turn blue when you perfectly position your face. Select Create My Cameo or pick a photo from the Camera Roll on your phone. Pick one of the two silhouette icons and select Continue. Snapchat takes a few seconds to create the Cameos. A screen overlay says that you can also create Cameos with friends and what other actions you can take on them. Select Okay or Skip this step to arrive back to your chat screen. On Android: Select Okay > Settings. Pick a Cameo and use it in a chat with any friend. If you want to change the Cameo, select the tiny New Selfie button above the toolbar and go through the steps again. On Android: Tap and hold one of the options to see New Selfie.
How to Change a Cameo Selfie from Snapchat’s Settings
Snapchat’s Settings has a dedicated space to manage the Cameo selfies you create. You can create your first Cameo sticker here and then use the options to manage them.
Tap Settings (the gear icon) in the Profile screen to open Snapchat’s settings. Select Cameos on the list. Select Actions > Change My Cameos Selfie to open the Create My Cameo camera screen. Select Create My Cameo or choose a photo from the Camera Roll to replace the earlier Cameo with the new one. To change the body type, select Actions > Change Cameos Body Type. Alternatively, select Actions > Clear My Cameos Selfie to delete the existing Cameos and make new ones. The new selfie will replace your old one automatically. Snapchat allows you to use only one selfie for Cameos at a time.
What Is a Cameo on Snapchat?
Cameos are stickers and animated videos that feature your selfie or a friend’s. They are a visual way to add more personality to your chats on Snapchat.
