      About This Article

      Article Summary X

      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.
