Screenshots not saving to my iPhone

I took two screen shots from that I had taken on my snapchat since it was not allowing me to save them in my snapchat memories because it said I had low disk space. I had taken a screen shot but they did not save to my iPhone, and I want to access both of them. Is there any way I can receive help to access these pictures?

If you've taken screenshots on Snapchat, but they didn't save to your iPhone, there are a few potential ways to recover them:


Check Recently Deleted Album:

Open the Photos app on your iPhone and go to the "Albums" tab. Look for the "Recently Deleted" album. Sometimes, deleted photos, including screenshots, are moved to this album, and you can recover them from there. If you find your screenshots, select them and choose "Recover."


Snapchat Memories:

If you were trying to save the screenshots to Snapchat Memories, open the Snapchat app and check your Memories. Sometimes, even if the saving process failed initially, Snapchat may have retained a copy in Memories.


iCloud Photo Library:

If you have iCloud Photo Library enabled, your photos and screenshots might be stored in iCloud. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos and make sure "iCloud Photos" is turned on. If it's on, your photos should be available on all your devices linked to the same Apple ID.


iTunes or Finder Backup:

If you regularly back up your iPhone using iTunes (on Windows) or Finder (on Mac), you might be able to restore your iPhone from a previous backup. Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes or Finder, select your device, and choose "Restore Backup." This will replace the current content on your iPhone with the content from the selected backup.


Third-Party Data Recovery Software:

If the above methods don't work, you can try third-party data recovery software. Some tools specialize in recovering deleted or lost data from iOS devices. However, be cautious when using third-party software and ensure that it is reputable.


Remember that taking screenshots of snaps without the sender's permission may violate Snapchat's terms of service, and it's important to respect others' privacy and adhere to the platform's policies.

The problem is that I had taken a screen shot of my own picture. It was not letting me save it on snapchat, so I tried to save it to my photos. But it did not save at all because it did not appear in my photos when I was trying to look at it and I wanted to know how I can recover it or if it was even possible to recover it. Thank you.
