With over 330 million daily active users (according to Statista), Snapchat is one of the most popular photo and video-sharing platforms around the globe. The application is loaded with features. One of the most popular features, and a fascinating one, is Live Snaps. The self-destructive nature of photos and videos on Snapchat is quite promising, as the weird photo you uploaded last night won’t be there for long.
If you’re a fan of Snapchat’s Live Snaps feature, you’d want to post something new every day so that it may seem to your friends as if you are traveling to new places. It could be hard to follow in the real world because of time and money limitations, but on the Snapchat app, you can post fake Live Snaps.

You’d agree that the beauty of Snapchat lies in its powerful editing tools. It helps in making the snap look more glorified and real. Most snaps are taken in real-time, and these are the ones where you don’t see texts like “from Camera Roll” or “from Memories”. This hints to your friends that the particular snap is taken in real-time. But, when a snap is uploaded from the gallery, Snapchat adds “from Camera roll” text above the story.
Does Snapchat Allow Faking Live Snaps?
Although Snapchat always adds “from Camera Roll” text whenever a snap is uploaded from the gallery, there was no text added initially when the Memories feature was announced. For those uninitiated, the Memories feature allows you to stitch multiple photos together from the camera roll. The good thing was that Snapchat only used to add a small white border around the edges. So, it was not a major hint that the story wasn’t taken in real time.
