Snapchat has become a very popular photo-sharing platform. Features like cool filters, lenses have made this platform a fun way to communicate with your friends and family. However, Snapchat is distinct for its self-destructive messaging feature that removes shared photos once they are viewed.
Now, a situation may arise when you need to view the snaps again? Is there any way to retrieve the deleted photos and videos? If that’s what you are searching for, you are in the exact place. Today we will show you the 3 best working methods for recovering Snapchat photos and videos on your iPhone.
Method 1: Recover Snapchat photos/videos, using recovery tool
This method is suitable, in case your data are not backed up. By this method, you can recover any kind of data including Snapchat photos. Here we will use a data recovery application on our computer. So, you just need your computer and a USB cable to connect your iPhone.

Method 2: Recover snaps from the recently deleted folder
If you accidentally delete your Snapchat photos from your iPhone, then this is the best option for you. iPhone has a built-in feature where it internally stores your deleted photos for 30 days. To restore the photos from there do these steps:
- Go to Photos app > Albums > Recently Deleted.

Try any of the two methods and we hope by doing the exact procedure you will get your problem solved.
