How to Stop Snapchat from Saving Snaps to Camera Roll
If you don’t want Snapchat to automatically save your photos or videos to your camera roll, Snapchat gives you the option to turn off this feature. In this article, I have explained how you can stop Snapchat from saving your snaps to the camera roll on your Android or iPhone.
Snapchat’s camera roll option allows you to save your snaps directly to your phone. But constantly taking snaps can make your phone’s photo or media library quite cluttered. But disabling the camera roll in Snapchat can prevent unwanted photos from being stored on your device.
How to Stop Snapchat from Saving Snaps to Camera Roll
It’s very easy to prevent snaps from being saved to the Camera Roll on Android or iPhone. To do this, you have to go to Snapchat’s settings and select the Memories option instead of Camera Roll. The Memories option saves Snaps to Snapchat Memories instead of the phone’s gallery.
To stop snaps from automatically saving to the camera roll:
1. Update and Open Snapchat Application on Your Android or iPhone.
2. Tap on Profile Icon at Top Left Corner.
3. Tap on Settings Icon (⚙) at Top Right Corner.
4. Scroll Down and Tap on Memories Under the PRIVACY CONTROL Section.
5. Tap on Save Button Under the SAVE DESTINATIONS Section.
6. Select Memories.
That’s it! You’re done! Now all the snaps you take on Snapchat will be saved in memories instead of the camera roll. This will help you keep your photo gallery organized and avoid photos you don’t want to keep on your phone.
