When you replay a Snap on Snapchat, the sender will be notified, but you'll be able to see the sent photo or video again. As long as you don't leave the page, you can replay a Snap once. If you have Snapchat+, you can use the Replay Again feature to replay a Snap twice. This wikiHow will show you two ways to rewatch a Snap sent to you on Snapchat using your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
Things You Should Know
To replay a Snap on Snapchat, stay on the Chat screen after viewing a Snap. Tap and hold the Snap, then tap it again to view it.
If you have a Snapchat+ subscription, you can tap and hold a Snap to replay it twice.
Don't leave the Chat screen before replaying a Snap; the replay option will disappear.

You can replay a Snap in Snapchat as long as you haven't left the Chat screen. After viewing the Snap once, tap-and-hold the sender's name on the Chat screen, and then tap the Snap to watch it again. Just make sure you don't leave the Chat screen after viewing the Snap the first time—if you move to another screen in Snapchat or switch to another app, you'll lose your chance to watch the Snap a second time. Snaps can only be replayed once, and when you replay the Snap, the person who sent it will see that you've used the replay option. If you're watching someone's Story on Snapchat, you can replay the Story as many times as you'd like until it expires. The person who shared the Story will see that you've viewed it, but they won't be able to see whether you've seen it more than once. Did this summary help you?YesNo
