How To Repost Someone’s Story on Snapchat
Snapchat doesn’t allow saving someone’s story without their consent. Anytime you see someone’s story or even take a screenshot, they will know. Furthermore, you can’t save their videos. However, the simplest and most ethical way of reposting someone’s Snapchat story is to request them to send it to you.
Once they send you their story, you can then repost it on your story. If that can’t work for you, follow the steps below to use the screenshot method:
- Open Snapchat on your phone by tapping on the Snapchat app on your home screen.Find an interesting story that you wish to repost from other people’s stories by clicking the icon with an outline similar to two people at the top of the story tab. Scroll down to discover an exciting story.Open your friend’s story as you usually do when viewing. Once you do, the next thing is to hide the time displayed in the story. To do this, hold a finger on your Snapchat screen. This will hide the time and the on-screen buttons.Take a screenshot. A screenshot is the only current option to save someone’s Snapchat story without using any third-party app. While taking the screenshot, remember to still hold your finger on the screen to hide the time. If the first time doesn’t work and you end with the menu again, repeat the process until you have a clear screenshot.Seek Owner Consent. By default, the owner of the story you’ve screenshot will see a notification of your activity. Therefore, it’s good to seek their permission before reposting their story. Send a chat explaining your motives for the screenshot, and once they approve, you can go ahead and repost their story.With the screenshot on your phone, navigate to your Snapchat camera, and under the “Memories” tab, choose the “Camera Roll” and find the screenshot you took. If you need to edit something on the picture, click the three dots at the top right, click the “Edit Photo” button, and make your edits.Tag someone on your story. To do so, click the “T” icon, click the “@”, and enter the name you want to tag.Finally, repost on Snapchat by clicking the “Send To” button, then choose “My story”.
Bingo! You’ve successfully reposted someone’s story on your Snapchat.
Note that this method only works if you want to repost their story, not a video. Snapchat gives no official way of downloading someone’s Snapchat video unless they send it to you or use other third-party apps to download it.
