How to Send a Snapchat Without a Photo
While you could just cover your camera while taking a snap and then add a caption, there are a couple of other ways you can send Snapchats without a photo! Text snaps--also known as "chats"--can be sent from the Chat page, or you can add a chat to a user's story on the Stories page and send it to them as a direct message. While chats don't have a viewing time limit the way that picture snaps do, they disappear after both parties have read the chat text.
Steps

Sending a Chat from the Chat Page

Tap the Snapchat app to open Snapchat. Snapchat should open directly to the camera interface.

Swipe right. This will bring up the Chat page; you'll find all of your recent conversations here in chronological order.

Swipe right on a contact's name. This will open a chat window with that specific contact. There is no way to group chat on Snapchat.

Type a message in the "Send a chat" field. From here, you can also attach a picture, call or video call your recipient, or attach a Bitmoji if you have the service installed on your phone. Your recipient will receive a notification that says "[Your name] is typing..." when you begin typing, and another notification when you send your chat.

Tap "Send" when you're done. This will send your chat. Your chat will show up on the "Chat" page as a blue arrow; when your recipient opens it, the blue arrow will become hollow. Unless you or your recipient tap and hold the chat text to save it, Snapchat chats disappear entirely once both parties have read the chat.

Sending a Chat from the Stories Page

Tap the Snapchat app to open Snapchat. Snapchat should open directly to the camera interface.

Swipe left. This will take you to the Stories page, where all of your contacts' stories are arranged in order from newest to oldest.

Tap a story to open it. You should see a "Chat" option toward the bottom of the screen.

Tap the "Chat" arrow at the bottom of the screen. Tapping the "Chat" button will freeze the story in place, so don't worry about running out of time.

Type a message in the "Send a chat" field. This will overlay the story image with your text.

Tap "Send" when you're done. This chat will show up on the "Chat" page as a blue arrow; when your recipient opens it, the blue arrow will become hollow.

What's your reaction?
