Snapchat has a quick-add method that lets you follow accounts. It\u2019s called \u2018Snapcodes\u2019. Snapcodes are Snapchat branded QR codes that direct you to a user\u2019s account and can also be used to share links. To scan a Snapcode, you need to point the app\u2019s camera at it. This means, if you\u2019ve saved a Snapcode to your camera roll, you can\u2019t scan which is inconvenient to say the least. In a recent app update, Snapchat has finally rectified this problem and you can now scan a Snapcode saved to your camera roll.<\/p>\n

This feature was added via an app update so before you try to scan a Snapcode saved to your camera roll, make sure you have the latest version of the app on your phone.<\/p>\n

Open Snapchat and tap the ghost or bitmoji at the top left. On your profile screen, tap the cog wheel button at the top right. On the Settings screen, tap \u2018Snapcode\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Snapcodes screen has an option called \u2018Scan from Camera Roll\u2019. Tap it and from your camera roll, tap the image that contains the Snapcode. Snapchat will scan it and give you options to open and\/or subscribe to the account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can scan the code to your own profile but it will only give you a smirking emoji in response. If you scan the code for a user you already follow, it will again alert you that the account is already in your friends list.<\/p>\n

The image you scan can have the code anywhere in it. The sum total of the image doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be the Snapcode. For example, if you\u2019ve saved a promotional image that has a brand\u2019s code at the bottom, it will work just as well. The app might take a bit longer to scan it but it works just the same.<\/p>\n

It makes sense that the main app camera cannot scan Snapcodes saved to your camera roll. It\u2019s supposed to be able to pick images from your camera roll and add them to your story or send them in a chat. It has a specific purpose which shouldn\u2019t clash with something that is a secondary feature i.e., scanning branded QR codes. The only limitation with this new feature is that it\u2019s somewhat well-hidden. Unless users habitually read the change log for each new Snapchat \u00a0update, it\u2019s unlikely they\u2019ll discover this. Most people might just continue to believe they can only scan a code if it\u2019s on a screen in front of them, or in hard copy form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
