Q&A for How to View Sent Snapchats

Messages from Snapchat may be retrievable if the photos or videos are still on your phone (as nomedia files) and haven’t been overwritten. Alternatively, you may be able to use recovery software.

To replay a Snapchat photo or video, see How to Replay a Snapchat, which allows you to see the photo or video once more before it’s really gone. Alternatively, if it’s your Snapchat photo or video, keep a copy of it before you share it. If it’s someone else’s photo, take a screenshot (they’ll be notified) and keep the screenshot, or contact the other person for a copy of the original photo or video.

It may be possible to recover Snapchat photos and videos with the use of recovery tools made specifically to do this. You’ll need to search online for such a tool and read the terms and conditions carefully before trusting the download or app. Alternatively, if you were notified that someone took a screenshot, you can ask them to send you a copy of it. Finally, the photo or video may still be on your phone as a nomedia file, provided you haven’t overwritten the data yet. Check your phone’s instructions for finding deleted files, or search online forums for assistance related to your phone’s make if you want to recover the photo or video from the phone itself.

You can look at the Snapchat profiles of people who are your friends, people who have added you or people who have sent you a chat. To see others’ profiles you need to use the Snapchat app. For more advice about looking at Snapchat profiles, see the wikiHow How to View Snapchat Profile.
