Snapchat is among the best social media platforms for teenagers today and the most famous. This is because it has everything a Gen Z teenager wants: privacy and security, sleek minimalism but aesthetic design, and space to be flirty without looking obnoxious. Think about it: you’ve opened Snapchat and are sending the person you’re interested in a snap of your cute pet dog. If you were to do the same thing on Instagram, it would come off as an attempt to impress them.
However, Snapchat is made for this type of intimacy. They’ll keep wondering if they are the only person you sent it to or if it was a snap to maintain your streak. The more intimate the snap, the longer you’ll be in their mind. If you’re careful, there are a lot more things than you’d think that you can dismiss as just an innocent snap.
If you want to convey to them that you’re interested, there are endless ways to do so. Send them pictures of a romantic movie where everyone’s happy or your friends who are dating, and caption it with something about hating to be the third wheel. However, make sure not to overdo it if they don’t seem interested: you’ll end up harassing them and getting blocked.
This is just the tip of all you can do on Snapchat. Creating streaks, making fire bitmojis, sharing the small, funny updates from your life: it’s all a part of the Snapchat experience.
Bitmojis are not just silly little cartoons unless you make them so. Fashion is one of the most high-rising concepts in the modern world, and it’s something to think about. It is hard to create something where every individual can stand out in their way and avoid any lack of options to express themselves.
Bitmoji partnered with several high-end brands to create a truly fashionable collection. They’ve got everything from Ralph Lauren to Off-White, Carhartt, Converse, and Nike.
That’s not all; Snapchat is also very careful with its users’ experience on the platform. Next to nothing can hamper your peace if you know all the measures offered by the Snapchat team and implement them when necessary.
Today’s blog discusses sending a saved image as a snap instead of a message on Snapchat. Stick with us till this blog’s end to learn all about it!
How to Send Saved Image as a Snap Instead of Message on Snapchat
If you’re on Snapchat, one of your friends must have driven you crazy about snap streaks at least once. So, on one of those crazy days, you might’ve wondered if you could send them a saved image as a snap.
While we’d love to say yes and put you out of your misery, we’re sorry that’s impossible. If such a thing were possible, it would debase the entire concept of a snap.
Snaps are meant to be in the moment, snapshot memories that’ll remind you of the good ol’ days. They’re supposed to let your friends know what you’re doing. If it isn’t in the present and spontaneous, Snapchat will become just as generic as any other social media platform like Facebook or Instagram.
So, to answer your initial question, you cannot send a saved image as a snap instead of a message on Snapchat. It defeats a snap’s entire point and is also unnecessary.
Don’t know what we’re talking about? Let us explain.
If you have access to a smartphone with Snapchat installed on it, why wouldn’t you send them a snap anyways? There is no practical use for such a feature. Sending a snap is quick and easy; sending a message from Memories is comparatively longer and trickier.
If you’re new to Snapchat, let us tell you exactly what we’re talking about.
Here’s how to send a snap on Snapchat
Step 1: Launch Snapchat on your smartphone and log in to your account.
Step 2: The first screen you’ll land on is the Snapchat camera. Tap anywhere, and Snapchat filters will appear. Swipe left on the filters row to explore newer filters and select the one you like the most.
Step 4: At the bottom, you’ll see a white circle; tap on it to capture a picture, and long press to record a video. Slowly drag your finger upwards while recording to zoom in.
Step 5: On the next page, tap anywhere on the screen to add a caption. On the right, locate the several icons to enhance your snap. At the bottom-right corner, you’ll see a yellow Next button; tap on it.
Step 6: Next, you’ll see a list of all your Snapchat friends. Select everyone you wish to send the snap to. Tap on the blue and white arrow icon at the bottom right corner, and your snap has been sent!
Here’s how to send an image from Memories on Snapchat
Step 1: Launch Snapchat on your smartphone and log in to your account.
Step 2: The first screen you’ll land on is the Snapchat camera. Swipe right from that screen to go to your Chats page.
Step 3: Scroll until you find the person you wish to send the image to and tap on the chat.
Step 4: The dialog bar is automatically activated. To the right of the dialog bar, you’ll see three icons. Tap on the second icon, which isthe Memories icon on Snapchat.
Step 5: Select the picture/s you need to send them and tap on the white arrow icon at the bottom right corner.
There you go! Your images have now been sent to them.
In the end
As we end this blog, let’s recap all we’ve discussed today.
Snapchat is a large social media platform, and its entire concept is based on sending spontaneously funny and cool snippets of your day to your friends. If you could send any past image as a snap, it would debase Snapchat’s USP, which is why it isn’t possible to do so.
Moreover, it’s also unnecessary because if you can access your own Snapchat account, it’s always easier to send a snap than to send a Memory.
