Is it possible to save snaps without sending them?

Asked 2 years ago
Snapchat allows users the option to capture and save Snaps without sending them, facilitating personal enjoyment or sharing at a later time. To do this, individuals can use the Snap Camera to take a picture or record a video, and instead of sending it, they can simply save it to their device. To save a Snap, users can tap the download icon or use the appropriate command in their app settings. It is important to note that saving Snaps without sending can only be done before they are shared. Users should remain mindful of privacy implications when saving or sharing content. Using Snapchat's features as designed can help ensure a secure experience for both the user and their friends. For the most current instructions and updates on this feature, it is always beneficial to refer to the official Snap Inc. website or the app's help section, which provides the latest information and guidance.
