In this blog, we are going to learn if you can get the original video back after trimming it on Snapchat, and if yes, then how? Let’s get started!

How to Get Original Video Back After Trimming on Snapchat?

If you accidentally trimmed an important video on Snapchat and haven’t saved the original version anywhere, you might be wondering if there’s a way to get the untrimmed version back. Unfortunately for you, there is no way to get the original video back once you have trimmed and saved it.

When you trim a video on Snapchat, the app modifies it permanently so that after saving it, there is no way to recover the trimmed portions. However, if you have saved the original video to your camera roll or any other location, there might still be hope for you.

In case the original video is saved somewhere else, you can easily edit it and have the portions you need. But if the case is that you only had one copy of it which you have already trimmed, then there’s no way to get the original, untrimmed version back.

Furthermore, if you want to learn how you can save snaps on Snapchat as well as your gallery, let’s explore that further in this blog.

Where can you find the saved snaps on Snapchat?

Snapchat keeps its archive of all your photos and videos taken on the app. This way, even if you lose them from your gallery, you would have a place where they are safely stored.

So where can you find these saved snaps on the platform? The place to find all your snaps and old stories on the platform is Snapchat Memories. This feature was introduced on public demand for users to have a place where they could store and view their photos and videos taken on the platform.

To access your Memories, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Open Snapchat on your device and log in to your account if you haven’t already.

You will be taken to your camera screen.

Step 2: Swipe up from the camera screen.

This will open up your Memories section, where you can access all your photos and videos.

You can swipe right to see all your snaps, camera roll, screenshots, saved stories, and the “my eyes only” section. You can browse whatever section you want and access the snaps you want to view.

If you want to learn how you can save the snaps in your Memories section to your camera roll, let’s learn that in the following section.

How to export Snapchat photos and videos to your camera roll?

You may be able to access all your Snapchat photos and videos in the platform’s Memories section; however, there may be times when you want some of that media in your gallery. If you are wondering whether you can export already saved snaps from the platform to your gallery, the answer is Yes.

Let’s learn how you can save snaps from your Memories section to your camera roll.

Step 1: Open Snapchat on your device and sign in to your account.

Step 5: Choose where you want to save your snap and tap on it.

There you go; this way, you can save any snap from the platform to your camera roll.

You can select multiple snaps at once to export them to your camera roll.

If you want all your future snaps to be automatically saved to your camera roll without the need for you to save them, we have got you covered.

To do this, you will need to update your Snapchat settings.

Let’s learn how you can do that through this simple guide:
