Does it ever happen that you stumble upon a gem of a photo or a hilarious video in your gallery that would be absolutely perfect for sharing with someone on Snapchat? But ultimately that makes you wonder if you can actually share already saved content from your device. Often users use Snapchat to click and share images then and there. For the good part, in this article, we will discuss how to send snaps directly from the camera roll or the device gallery, captured days or even weeks ago.
How to Send Snaps from Camera Roll
It’s fun to express glimpses of life with Snapchat’s filters. However, one might not always prefer the app for taking pictures. Does that mean you cannot share a snap if you do not instantly click the image or record the video using the app? Let’s say goodbye to being limited to just capturing and sharing in-the-moment snaps and sharing content instantaneously shot on Snapchat.
Quick Answer

1. In the Snapchat app, open the chatbox of any friend who you want to share the snap with.
2. Tap on the image card icon next to the text bar.

Method 2: Send Directly From Device Gallery
If you find accessing very old images or videos from the Snapchat Camera Roll section difficult, you can also directly share a snap from the device gallery itself.
Note: Since smartphones don’t have the same Settings options, they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Hence, ensure the correct settings before changing any on your device. These steps were performed on Samsung S20 FE 5G, as shown in the illustrations below.
1. Launch the Gallery or Photos app on the device.
2. Select the image or video you want to send and tap on the Share icon.
3. Tap on the Snapchat icon.
4. Tap on Next, select the friends you want to share, and send.
In this way, you can easily share saved videos and images on Snapchat from the phone’s gallery or files app.
