Don’t tell me you are not a Snapchat user. If you weren’t, this post wouldn’t have grabbed your attention.

Despite having Instagram and other photo sharing apps, we made Snapchat popular only because it allows us to send self-destructing messages. Back in the day, there were a number of third-party apps, which provided an option to save content from Snapchat. But after a massive hack that caused users’ media loss, the company has strengthened its API and security standards.

You can’t save media, and it will notify the owner in case you take screenshot as well. That’s why I have thought about writing an article on how to take screenshot on Snapchat without let them knowing. Recently, I have also shared many snapchat secrets and tricks.

Are you ready to find out the procedure? Here you go!

How to Take Screenshot on Snapchat Without Sender Being Notified?

After my research and a few trial and error experiments I got two working methods to take a screenshot of a Snapchat snap.

Method 1: Using Flight Mode (For Both Android & iOS Phones)

Here you are going to reap the benefits of the flight mode of your device. In case you are reluctant to enable flight mode, I have included an alternate way below.

Just follow the steps to know how to take screenshot on Snapchat Android without notification.

Step 1: You have to disable everything that prevents background app running at first. As we are dealing with Snapchat here, I recommend checking whether the Travel Mode on the app is disabled or not. If you find it activated, you must revert it back to the disabled state.

Step 2: You have cleared the setting of Snapchat app. Now, it’s time to take off the blockage of background activity from your phone itself. So, make sure you don’t have any battery saving option enabled.

Step 3: Everything is set for capturing the screenshot of a snap. Whenever you get a new snap notification, you should not open it right away. Instead, you have to wait a few seconds (let’s say a minute) to get it fully loaded. Then, head over to settings or notification panel to activate Flight Mode. (Alternatively, you can disable the mobile network and wifi as well. It cuts the network connection of your phone).

You can do the same by long pressing the power button and choosing the option accordingly as well.

Step 4: After you turn the flight mode option on, you need to get back to the app and open the snap. It’s screenshot time! You should be really quick provided the self-destructive feature of each snap.

Hence take a quick screenshot without allowing the time to pass by.

Step 5: Once you take the screenshot, the instant mobile data activation will not work for your purpose. It is needed to force-close Snapchat app to stay anonymous. So follow Settings>> Apps>> Snapchat and choose force close to prevent the background process.

Usually, both the sender and receiver get a notification about the screenshot capture. But you will never get one here, neither do your friends. I have tried this method a lot and didn’t find even a 0.1% failure.

Hurray! There you go! You now know how to take screenshot on Snapchat app. In order to give you the best-in-class convenience, I have included another method too. You can use either one of them based on the convenience and simplicity.

Method 2: Using Google Now (For Android devices only)

Here we are going to make use of Google Now on Tap. If you own an Android device with version less than 6.0 Marshmallow, you will never find it useful because the Google Now on Tap feature is only available on phones with android version greater than Android Marshmallow.

Follow the steps given below to know how to take screenshot on Android.

Step 1: Take up your Android phone. You need to make sure that Google Now on Tap is enabled. Go to Settings>> Google>> Search & Now >> Now on Tap. In case you find the option is turned off, don’t hesitate to reverse the same.

Step 2: From the next time you receive a Snap notification, you don’t have to backout from keeping a copy. Just open the Snap. You know it is not going to last forever. So, follow the next step without further ado.

Step 3: Press and hold the home button to open the Google Now launcher. And, hit the share button given on the left side of the screen.

Step 4: You will get a number of sharing channels. As we are not going to share it on social media, don’t select those popular services. All you have to use is Upload to Photos.

That’s all! The picture is saved in your phone right NOW. The best fact about this method is no one will ever ask for methods or grade.

Just like the above method, this one too is found useful.

Method 3: Take SnapChat ScreenShots Using Third Party Apps (For iOS Users)

The above methods are exclusively available for Android only. Maybe you have an iOS device, who see your phone as a symbol of excellence. That’s why I have collected the method to take screenshot on Snapchat for iOS as well.

You need a third-party app called Sneakaboo. It will not ask you for anything as the application is free. It displays direct option to take a screenshot. So you don’t have to wait or confuse yourself, just start using it.
