This article shows you how to rotate photos on Snapchat before sharing them. While the program doesn't offer a rotation feature, you can use the built-in photo editing app on your device to achieve the desired result.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: iPhone / iPad

Step 1. Open Snapchat

This is the app with the yellow icon and a white ghost on the Home screen.

Step 2. Press the shutter icon to take a photo

This is the large circle at the bottom of the camera screen.

Step 3. Add effects, text and designs

You can skip this step if you don't want to use Snapchat's editing features.

Step 4. Press the "Save" button

This is the square icon with the arrow pointing up at the bottom of the screen. This way your photo will be saved in Snapchat Memories.

If this is your first time saving a photo in "Memories", you will be asked to choose where to do it. You can select "Memories Only" (you will only save the photo on Snapchat servers) or "Memories and Camera Roll", if you prefer to have a copy of the image on your device as well

Step 5. Press X

You will find this button in the upper left corner of the screen.

Step 6. Swipe up on the camera screen

This will open the Memories.

Step 7. Press Camera Roll to find your photo

It is located just below the word "Memories" at the top of the screen. Among the images, you should recognize the one you just took.

• If you don't see the photo in your roll, you need to save it to that location. To do it:

  • Awards Snap at the top of the screen.
  • Press and hold the image until the menu appears.

  It is the first at the bottom of the screen, next to the word "Delete".

  

  Step 14. Press the "Rotate" icon

  It looks like a square with an arrow and is located in the lower left corner of the image. The photo will rotate counterclockwise. When you have found the correct orientation, press Done.
