Add New Question

• Question

  How do I retrieve expired Snaps?

  

  If you don't have a Snap-saving app like Casper or Phantom installed, there is no way to retrieve an expired Snap.

• Question

  If I am going to manage, it just shows me filter and friends emoji, so now what should I do?

  

  They've updated Snapchat so that some users can't do this trick as it is against Snapchat's Terms and Agreement.

• Question

  I am an Apple user. Is that why I don't have the option to replay?

  

  The replay option is automatic now for only a few seconds, and then you can never replay that again.

• Question

  I already have a Snapchat account, but after I uninstall the app, it says I have to restart my account to log back in. Why is that?

  

  Probably it logged out and back in too fast, causing it to glitch. Wait a few minutes after un-installation to reinstall.

• Question

  How do I retrieve an expired story on Snapchat?

  

  Unless you saved the Story using Casper or Phantom, you cannot retrieve an expired Story.

• Question

  If I sent a Snapchat video and forgot to save it, can I get it back?

  

  No, once you send the video it's gone. You'll need to save pictures or videos you take before you send them off.

About This Article

Article Summary X

If a friend sends you a photo or video Snap on Snapchat, you can replay it once after your first view. To do so, swipe left on the camera screen to open your Chats, and then tap a Snap to view it for the first time. After opening the Snap once, you'll be able to open it a second time as long as you don't leave the Chats screen or open anyone else's Snaps. To replay the Snap, tap and hold the friend who sent it, and then tap the Snap to view it.

Although you can only replay a private Snap once, you can watch your friends' Stories as many times as you want until they expire. To replay a Story, swipe left from the Camera to the Stories screen, and then tap the Story you want to see. Once you've watched your friend's entire Story, their Story icon will turn into a curved black-and-white arrow. Tap that arrow to replay the Story as often as you'd like.
