How To Screenshot On Snapchat Without Them Knowing:
Snapchat users know that the only way you can save a story there is by screenshotting it. While doing this, the app on the other hand notifies the user, and if don’t want that happening, need to follow a few steps:
1. Turning On Flight Mode
Step 1: Switch on your phone, go to settings and turn on the flight mode. You can also swipe up or swipe down (depending on the mobile you are using) and click on the airplane icon to turn on the flight mode.
Step 2: Open Snapchat while your phone is still in airplane mode and take a screenshot of the story or photo you want.
Step 3: After you are done taking the screenshot, close the app and uninstall Snapchat immediately. Do not turn the airplane mode off in between by mistake.
Step 4: After uninstalling Snapchat, go to settings again and turn the airplane mode off.
Step 5: Install Snapchat once again and log in with your respective credentials.
Note: Sometimes it might leave them a message and not work, so we can,
◘ Swipe from the bottom of the screen (or down from the top in apple XS) to open the Control Centre and choose the Airplane mode button, it’s shown by an airplane symbol.
◘ Now go back to snap, open it, and wait for it to load which might take a few moments, and take the screenshot now since you have no Wi-Fi, so the app cannot notify the person that we have taken a screenshot.
◘ Then go to the app and uninstall it and then reinstall it again turning off the flight mode.
2. Screen Record the Story
Step 1: Turn on your iPhone. Open Snapchat and go to the story you want to record. Do not play it immediately.
Step 2: Next, swipe down twice from above and in the drop-down window you will find a screen recorder option. It looks like a circle bordered by a bigger circle around it. If you don’t find it at once, swipe right and check in the rest of the options. Click on it.
Note: In case you don’t find the option in the drop-down window, go to Settings > Control Center and then tap beside the Screen Recording option.
Step 3: A recorder option will appear on some corner of the screen on the right side. Click on that and the recording will begin immediately.
Step 4: Play the story or view it that you want to record and once it ends, it’s saved on the gallery. The recording will stop and you’ll find the record in your gallery.
Steps 5: If that is a video story, it is saved in that way but if it’s a photo you can now play the video and take a few shots from the video’s playback and those will be saved as Snapchat photo screenshots.
This feature works the best on iPhone without any issues and can also be applied on android too.
