If you’re like most people, you probably use Snapchat to post photos and videos of your day-to-day life. But if you’re a Snapchat user who wants to post photos from your phone to your story, there are a few things you need to know. First, make sure that your phone is unlocked. This will allow you to take pictures and videos without having to worry about security issues. Second, make sure that the phone is set up for snapchat stories. This means that it has the “story” feature enabled and that the camera is set up so that it can take snaps in quick succession. Third, make sure that the phone is connected to your computer. This will allow you to upload the pictures and videos that you’ve taken on your phone into Snapchat’s online storage space. Finally, be sure to add a caption for each photo and video that you post on Snapchat. This will help people understand what’s happening in those snaps and give them an idea of what kind of story they’re getting into.
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.
