How To Send Camera Roll As Snap on Snapchat

Sending a photo or video from your camera roll as a Snap on Snapchat is possible, but it requires using specific features within the app. Normally, sending media from your gallery appears as a "chat attachment," not as a real Snap, which alerts the recipient that it wasn't taken in real time. However, with Snapchat's creative tools and certain lenses, you can simulate or convert gallery content to appear more like a Snap. To begin, open Snapchat and tap on the Memories icon (the two overlapping photos) next to the camera button. From here, you can access both your Snaps and your Camera Roll. If the image or video you want to send is already in Memories, you can proceed to send it more directly. However, to send media from your Camera Roll in a way that mimics a real Snap, you’ll need to use a lens trick. Tap the camera screen and open the Lens Explorer by selecting the smiley face or lens icon. In the search bar, type "Camera Roll" or "Gallery Upload." These lenses are user-generated or official tools that allow you to insert images from your phone’s gallery as if they were being captured through the app. Choose a lens that enables photo uploads, and select the media from your gallery. The image will then load into the lens interface, and from there, you can capture it as a Snap. Once the image appears as if it were taken within the app, you can send it to your friends, add it to your Story, or save it as a Snap. Keep in mind, though, that Snapchat may still tag it as a "camera roll" upload in some cases, especially with videos or edited content, so it might not be completely indistinguishable from a live Snap.
