6 Funny Ways To Pull Off This Snapchat Prank
Below are six hilarious ways to pull off this Snapchat prank.
Use Emojis
Choose one of the emojis you love. One of the best ways to succeed in this prank is to pour out all your personality in your message. Do not use emojis that you do not normally use. You would not want to give your friends the idea you are pranking them.
Fake An Emergency
Think of this as informing them about a “serious situation” they would be concerned about. Traffic? Scam? Or any other emergency. Making them slightly panic is fun, at least on your end. You can type this message along the “Tap to load” image: “I have bad news, sorry.”
Invoke Drama
Your best friends are your partners in crime, shoulders to cry on. So, it would be nice to bank on this about them when you just want to really prank these friends of yours.
You can type this message along with the “Tap to load” image: “I have something important to tell you. Don’t tell anybody, okay?”
Make Sure Your Friend Is Online
Another great way to receive the gratification from this prank is to make sure you are sending the prank to your friend who is currently online. Send them a short message like “Hello” or “What’s up?” As soon as they reply, send them the prank.
Intrigue Your Snapchat Friend With A Joke
Or, you can intrigue them with a joke. However, you must first check up on yourself to see if the joke works. If you can laugh about it, then it is more likely that your friends will too. They will be intrigued about what is in the image.
Pretend You Sent The Message By Mistake
Fake a make-out message. Internationally send a message to your friend, which should appear like it is a message for your boyfriend or girlfriend, and you are mistakenly sending it to them.
Test Your Friendship: Conclusion
