How To Add a Photo to Snapchat Story

Add lots of authentic and engaging Snapchat stories to get more friends. You’ll need to submit a brilliant and funny story in the morning and follow it up with little chunks of raw and fun updates. Sound overwhelming?

No, it’s not.

Here is a quick guide to uploading a photo to your Snapchat story. So, let’s get into it.

Using Memories and Camera Roll

Snapchat memories is a Snapchat tool that allows users to import and save videos or photos onto Snapchat. You can use it to create great Snapchat stories.

So, how do you upload a photo saved or imported to Memories onto Snapchat stories?  

It’s easy. Start by accessing Memories:

1. Launch the Snapchat app and log in.
2. Tap the gallery icon next to the big circle icon at the bottom.
3. A new screen will appear. That’s the Memories.
4. Tap the “Camera Roll.”

The “Camera Roll” lets you access photos or videos on your phone’s gallery.

You’ll need to grant Snapchat permission to access your phone’s storage if the Camera Roll option is not showing any photos.

Use either of the following methods.

Method #1: From Snapchat Settings

1. Tap your profile icon in the top left corner.
2. Open settings.
3. Select “Manage.”
4. Choose “Permissions.”
5. Select the “Tap to enable” option next to the “Camera” option.

Method #2: From Phone Settings

Alternatively, you can do it directly from your phone.

On Android Device

1. Go to Settings on your phone.
2. Select “Apps & Notification.”
3. Scroll down and tap “Snapchat.”
4. A menu will appear. Go to “permissions.”
5. Check if the “Camera” option is on. If not, switch it on.

On an iPhone

1. Go to Settings.
2. Scroll down to “Snapchat.”
3. Turn on the “Camera” option.

Adding Photos From Camera Roll

1. Return to Camera Roll and choose a photo you’d wish to add to Snapchat stories.
2. If you want to modify or edit the photo, click the edit button in the bottom left corner.
3. Click the story button next to the upload button in the bottom left corner.
4. Tap “Add” to add the photo to your Snapchat stories.

You can also send the photo separately to your Snapchat friends by tapping the “Send to” button and choosing the friends.

Using Phone Gallery

You’ll need a third-party app to directly upload a photo from your phone gallery to Snapchat stories. An example of a third-party app you can use is Casper. It’s a good app if you’re using an android phone. But remember, it’s a third-party app not authorized by Snapchat. Also, Snapchat prohibits logging in to your Snapchat account via third-party apps. So, Snapchat may suspend your account.

Follow these steps

1. Download and install the app. Since it’s an apk file, you’ll have to allow your device to install apps from unknown sources.
2. After installing it, you need to log out of your Snapchat account (Profile Icon > Settings > Log out).
3. Go back and log in to Casper using your Snapchat details. (Launch app > enter Snapchat Username > Snapchat Password > Log in).
4. Upload a photo from your gallery by tapping the “Choose from Gallery” option.
5. Use the app to edit the photo. You can add filters, texts, or stickers to your image.
6. Tap the send button to add the photo to your Snapchat Stories.
7. Log out of Casper and log in to your Snapchat account to check whether your Snapchat story is updated.

Using Snap’s Built-in Camera

3. Edit the photo using the built-in editing options.
4. Click the story button next to the download button in the bottom left corner.
5. Click “Add” to add the snap to your Snapchat stories.
