Snapchat: Post pictures from gallery - here's how

Snapchat gives you the ability to take new photos, add fun filters to them, and share them with your friends. But in addition, you can also post pictures from your gallery in the app.

How to post pictures from the gallery in Snapchat

Users of the messenger app Snapchat can not only take and send photos directly in the app, but also share existing photos from the gallery with friends.

1. To send pictures from the gallery to Snapchat friends, first open the app as usual.
2. In the app, press on the "speech bubble icon" of a chat and select a contact to whom you want to send a photo.
3. In the respective chat, then tap on the "gallery icon", which consists of a square with landscape and sun.
4. Thereupon, the gallery of your smartphone opens and you can select a picture that you want to share.

Send pictures from the gallery to all Snapchat friends

If you want to send a picture from your smartphone gallery not only to a single contact, but to all your friends, this is also possible. For this to work, please switch to the camera view in Snapchat and tap on the "small circle". Now you have the option to create a story and add photos from the gallery to it, by tapping on "shots". These images will have a white border and can then be further edited using the available filters.
