How To Recover Deleted Snaps Iphone

Snapchat is one of many social networking platforms that provide users with an opportunity to share their photos, videos, and multimedia content with their friends, family, and loved ones. The only issue with Snapchat is that it does not enable you to save these photos on your Android or iPhone gallery. There is always a dedicated time limit for how long the photos will remain on the platform or once the recipient has viewed the content, it will be removed from the app automatically.

While the photos might no longer be available on the Snapchat app, they can still be recovered from your mobile's cache. Also, the photos and videos that you share with other users will remain on the Snapchat server for some time.

Here are a few ways to save the photos you have received on Snapchat:

Take a Screenshot: The easiest way to save a photo on Snapchat is by capturing a screenshot of the picture. Note that the person will get a notification as soon as you capture the screenshot of their photos.

Stories: The stories on Snapchat are visible for a day. However, you could save them for future use by selecting the "Live Story".

Memories: All the photos and videos saved in the memories section can be viewed anytime according to the user's convenience. These photos will never be deleted from your account.

There are times when people delete their photos from Snapchat by mistake or forget to save them to the memories.

But don't worry anymore! In this post, iStaunch will show you a complete guide on how to recover deleted Snapchat photos.

In fact, these are the same strategies you can use to recover deleted Snapchat memories on your Android and iPhone devices.
