Can you save snaps from someone else's story, or is it just the ones you take?
You can only save snaps that you have taken or that you've received directly. Snaps from someone else's story cannot be saved to your camera roll.
I followed the steps but didn't see the download icon. Is it possible that it’s missing for certain snaps?
I think saving snaps is cool, but I feel like it takes away from the spontaneity of Snapchat. The point is to share moments and let them disappear, right?
That's a fair point, but sometimes you want to keep the best memories! It’s a nice feature for those special moments.
I followed these steps, and it worked great! I was worried I'd lose some funny videos from my friends, but now they're all in my camera roll. Just a tip: make sure you give Snapchat access to your camera roll in settings, or it won’t save properly.
Good question! Is there any difference between saving snaps directly after taking them versus saving them from Memories later on?
I’ve been using these steps for a while. One tip: make sure your Snapchat is updated, or the features might not work as expected. I also love saving snaps of my kid's funny moments; it’s a great way to keep them! Sometimes, I forget where they go in the camera roll, so I create an album just for my Snapchat saved snaps.
