Please help

Hi @Noreen,
This is a first for me. Can you attach a photo so we could have a look?

Noreen · April 24

Hi, thank you for replying.

So this is a pic ive taken and then saved. As you can see it has the logo and name of the filter used on it.

I’m also looking for the answer to this

Noreen · April 27

Amanda,

Your the only one who has a similar problem to mine. Ive searched everywhere on the net and it isnt something other people are experiencing.

Noreen · April 27

Ive just checked and my problem has been resolved. Not sure how but i no longer have the logo on my images.

Anyone figure out how to stop this it’s really annoying

audun · June 13

I remember reading somewhere that this is a new feature Snapchat is gradually rolling out

Lizzie · June 14

anyone figure this out? I am having the same problem too

iARG · June 15

Also having the same issue. it seems to happen with the lenses more than the filters. How do we fix this?

audun · June 15

I want to clarify that this is not an issue. Snapchat is currently releasing this as a new feature, which is slowly rolling out to the majority of users.

@audun Can you share with us the info you have found on this being added as a feature? It seems counter intuitive to stamp the images of only certain lenses & filters with the name right on-top of them. What is the point of the "new" feature?

audun · June 22

I couldn't find it, but it's clear that they added it; it didn't just appear out of nowhere.

Not everyone sees this feature yet because it's likely being A-B tested. Large companies often roll out updates to a few groups initially, gathering feedback before making it public.

I'm not a fan of it either, so fingers crossed it doesn't go public!

I have the same problem! How can I get this to stop. That’s a horrible new feature if it’s permanent. Please take it back off

audun · June 24

Official Snap employee said this in the Discord Server:

Indeed it is being A/B tested on the Snapchat side. We’ve passed the feedback back to the team 🙂

@audun Could you at any point impart to us the data you have found on this being added as an element? It appears to be unreasonable to stamp the pictures of just specific focal points and channels with the name right on-top of them. Why bother of the "new" include?

IAM_LADY_NYC · June 28

Okay this just started to me and it’s terrible. It ruins the photo. Someone needs to bring this to their attention.

Noreen · June 28

My situation was resolved and now its happened again

Dom · July 7

It happened to me before then stopped and it’s happening again. This update is such a pain in the a**. I have to save the image then go to my saved snapchats and save it AGAIN to get it without the filter name on it. Super annoying.

SpookyBookieBish · July 10

I’m having the same problem and I hate it. I don’t know why they would think this is useful to any of their users.

It seems you're having an issue with saved images from Snapchat that still display the Snapchat logo and filter name. Here's a bit of clarification:

When you apply a filter on Snapchat and take a photo, the filter name and the Snapchat logo may appear on the image as a watermark. This is part of Snapchat's design, especially if you're using a branded filter or a filter created by another user.

The same applies when you save a Snapchat Story; the Snapchat logo and other details may appear as part of the saved image. This is Snapchat's way of attributing the creative design of the filter to its creator, and it's a standard feature of the app.

However, if you want to save a photo without any overlay, you may consider taking the photo using your phone's regular camera app, then uploading it to Snapchat later if needed. Remember that once you apply a filter and save the image on Snapchat, removing the watermark will be difficult because it's integrated into the image.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there's no option in Snapchat to remove the watermark during or after saving the image. For the most current information, you might want to check Snapchat's official support or help center or the app's settings.
