This article explains how to edit memories saved on Snapchat. "Memories" are personal snaps saved to your account to keep them safe.
Steps
Step 1. Open Snapchat
Make sure you are using the latest version of the application, as Memories are not available on older ones. You can update it using the App Store (iPhone) or Play Store (Android).
Step 2. Open the camera screen
If you've opened the Chat or Stories screen, tap the circle at the bottom of the screen to switch to the camera.
Step 3. Tap the Memories button
It appears below the camera button, depicted by two overlapping tabs.
Step 4. Open the Snap or Camera Roll window
You can edit saved snaps or any image stored on the camera roll.
Step 5. Tap the snap or image you want to edit
Step 6. Tap Edit and Submit at the bottom of the screen
Various functions to edit the image will appear.
Step 7. Tap the Edit button
It is depicted by a pencil.
Step 8. To apply an effect, tap the brush
A new menu will appear, allowing you to choose from various effects inspired by folk art. Tap the one you want to apply to the image.
Step 9. Tap the scissors to create a custom sticker
By tapping this button, you can highlight an object in the image and use it to make a sticker. The sticker can then be inserted into any snap you create.
- Drag your finger around the object to make an outline;
- Touch and drag the new sticker to place it anywhere in the image;
- Tap the stickers button to see the ones you have saved.
Step 10. Tap the sticker button to insert one
You can add as many stickers as you want. Tap the categories at the bottom of the sticker menu to see the various stickers available.
- Touch and drag a sticker to move it;
- Pinch a sticker to zoom in or out;
- Rotate two fingers on a sticker to flip it.
Step 11. Tap the text button to add a caption
This allows you to insert a caption in the center of the screen, allowing you to start writing. You can tap the text button again to enlarge it. Tap and drag the caption to reposition it.
Step 12. Tap the pencil button to draw on the image
This will allow you to drag a finger across the screen to create a design. To change the color used for drawing, you can drag your finger along the top right slider.
Step 13. Tap the timer to edit it
Photo snaps have a default timer of three seconds, which indicates how long they will be visible to users who view them. You can tap the timer and set it to last 10 seconds. Video snaps do not have this feature: they are available for the duration of the movie.
Step 14. Tap the Share button
It is represented by a box containing an arrow pointing upwards. It will allow you to share the image using other messaging apps or social networks. The menu associated with the share will open, allowing you to select the application you want to use.
Step 15. Tap the Send button to send the snap via Snapchat
It will be sent like any other snap and the recipient will only be able to view it once before it disappears. It will still be saved in the Memories.
Step 16. Tap the Done button to finish editing
When prompted, tap "Save changes" or "Cancel changes" depending on what you want to do. The saved changes will be added to the Memories.
