Users on Snapchat are now able to share posts from Reddit with friends. With the new feature, users are able to select Snapchat as one of the share buttons on Reddit, however for the feature to work, users will need to have both of the apps installed as well as an iOS device. If the share to Reddit button is selected the post will be in the Snapchat camera, where it can be easily shared on a story or sent to friends.
Currently, the ability to share posts from Reddit on the Snapchat platform is restricted posts that are deemed safe-for-work. Additionally, the feature is live on the Reddit iOS app, however, an Android version will be released at a later date.
