How to Send an Already Taken Photo on Snapchat

You can send an existing photo to someone on Snapchat, so you do not have to retake a picture just to share it. The distinction is how you send it: choosing an image from your Camera Roll may share it as a photo in Chat rather than as a freshly captured camera Snap.

Check the listed dimensions for yes, you can share a photo you already took against the available vehicle space before use.

Open Snapchat, swipe up from the camera screen to open Memories, and look for the Camera Roll tab to find the photo on your phone. Select the picture, use the available share or send option, choose your recipient, and review the preview before sending; the buttons may look different depending on your app version.

If you simply want a friend to see a Thanksgiving group shot or a picture you forgot to post, sending the saved image is a convenient choice. If you need a photo taken directly in Snapchat for a particular feature or request, use the Snapchat camera instead of assuming a Camera Roll image will be treated the same way.

Before you send, make sure the image shows what you intended and that everyone pictured is comfortable with you sharing it. For a Friendsgiving post beyond a one-to-one message, you can pair your photo with an idea from our Thanksgiving captions and hashtags guide; our featured Snap & Share: Cute Captions for Thanksgiving Photos digital download is another option when you want caption ideas.
