Snapchat is a popular messaging app with a large user base. It’s perfect for sharing photos and videos with friends. But what if you want to share a photo from your phone with your Snapchat story? Here’s how to do it. First, open the Snapchat app on your phone. Next, tap on the camera button in the top left corner of the screen. Then, take a photo or video and press the “Share” button in the bottom right corner of the screen. Next, select “Story” from the menu that appears. You’ll see your recent stories listed on the left side of the screen. Scroll down until you see your story that includes photos and videos you’ve shared from your phone. Tap on it to view it fullscreen. Now, tap on one of the photos or videos that you want to include in your story. It will start playing in fullscreen mode and will automatically start recording when you start typing or tapping on something else on your phone. When you’re done recording, just tap “Stop Recording” in the bottom right corner of the screen and then save your story by pressing “Save Story” in the top right corner of the screen. ..
For a long time, you could only post photos from Snapchat’s camera to your Story. This was really annoying if you took a great photo on your phone and wanted to share it to Snapchat: you just couldn’t do it. Thankfully, things have changed now. Here’s how to share a photo from your phone to Snapchat.

Open Snapchat and on the main photo screen, swipe up to get to Memories.
On Android, you may need to tap the small circle beneath the Shutter Button. You can also do this on iOS.
In the top right corner, select Camera Roll. You’ll see all the photos saved to your phone.
Select the photo you want to post.
Swipe up again to get to the Edit and Send options.
Tap the Trash Can icon to delete it, the Pencil icon to edit it with Snapchat’s usual tools, and the Share icon to save it back to your phone or share it to another app. When you’re ready to send it, tap the Blue Arrow.
To post the Snapchat to your Story, select My Story from the list and tap the Blue Arrow again. You can also send the photo directly to any of your contacts. Just select them from the list as well and send the Snap.
And with that, you’ve posted a photo from your phone to Snapchat. This opens up a lot of options for sharing photos you’ve taken in the past, or with a better camera.
