How do I share content from Snapchat?
You can share a Snap or certain other content, like Memories, outside of Snapchat by creating a public link. Please note that anyone with the link will be able to view the content that you linked to.
To create a shareable public link, follow the steps below.
- Open the Snap or other content you want to share
- Tap the link button to copy the link to the content
- You’ll see a message confirming the link was copied
Please Note: Creating or copying a public link doesn’t automatically share that public link with anyone else. Others can view the content only if they have the public link—for example, if you send it on or off-platform or otherwise post it online.
Who can use the shareable link that I created?
Shareable links are public, meaning anyone with the link can view your shared content. Links can also be forwarded. Keep this in mind before you share a link outside of Snapchat, and share only with people you trust. If your content is sensitive, consider whether to share the content off Snapchat at all.
How long are shareable public links accessible?
Shareable links are publicly accessible by anyone who has the link until the link expires, which occurs around 36 hours after it gets created.
Can I delete or remove a link after sharing it?
Once you create a link that can be shared off of Snapchat, you can delete the link by following these steps:
- Make sure you’re logged into the Snapchat app
- Open the link you want to delete in a browser on your device
- When the content loads, tap ‘Open in Snapchat’
- Select the menu icon (three dots in the top right)
- Choose the option to delete (this will not delete the Snap itself—only the link)
Please Note: Deleting the underlying content (like a Snap or Memory) that you shared does not invalidate the shareable public link. It will continue to serve your content and will stay accessible until you delete the link, or it expires.
