Snapchat is a fun encounter because of many reasons but at the base, it remains a photo messaging app that gives users send self-destructing photos & videos. The app has been designed to ensure that the pictures shared on the app cannot be stored without the sender being notified. In this manner, when a user tries to save\u00a0a picture by taking a screenshot, the app\u00a0makes sure to ready users when a screenshot is taken. When you take a screenshot, you and your friend both get a notification\u00a0reporting\u00a0a screenshot was taken. But, there is a workaround for that on Android which doesn\u2019t include installing any third party app and\u00a0you can easily take a screenshot on Snapchat without notifying the sender.<\/p>\n

How to take screenshots on Snapchat without the other person knowing:<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Step 1:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Firstly, make sure that Snapchat\u2019s \u201cTravel Mode<\/strong>\u201d is not enabled and your phone is not in the\u00a0battery saving mode<\/strong>. Both the modes\u00a0pause background app activity and the snaps you receive will not be loaded automatically, which is important for this method to work.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Step 2:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

When you get a new snap<\/strong>\u00a0you want to take screenshot of,\u00a0don\u2019t open the app instantly<\/strong>. Instead,\u00a0wait for a few seconds<\/strong>, so that the snap is automatically loaded in the background. Then, go ahead and\u00a0turn off WiFi and mobile data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Then, open\u00a0Snapchat and\u00a0view the snap and quickly take screenshot<\/strong>\u00a0before time runs out.<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

After you have taken a\u00a0screenshot,\u00a0close the app<\/strong>\u00a0and go to Android\u2019s\u00a0Settings->Apps->Snapchat->Storage<\/strong>\u00a0and tap \u201cClear Cache<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Once you\u2019ve cleared Snapchat\u2019s cache, turn on WiFi and use the app normally like you would and you will notice that there\u2019s no screenshot notification neither on your app nor on the sender\u2019s app. Normally, when a screenshot is taken, the sender and the receiver of the snap both get a notification saying \u201cYou\/Friend took a screenshot\u201d.<\/p>\n

We have tried this method\u00a0and it works\u00a0perfectly. This method is only applicable for Android smartphones. For iPhone users, there\u2019s a third-party app called\u00a0Sneakaboo<\/a><\/span>\u00a0that lets you take a screenshot on Snapchat discreetly.<\/p>\n

Update: Alternate method to take screenshots on Snapchat<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

There is another method to save snapchat photos on your device without the sender knowing about it. This method doesn\u2019t involve any third-party app and relies completely on Google\u2019s Now on Tap functionality.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

This method involves the usage of Google\u2019s Now on Tap feature, which was introduced in Android 6.0 Marshmallow. So, first, you will have to enable it. You can enable the feature in\u00a0Settings\u2192Google->Search & Now\u2192Now on Tap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

After you have enabled it, the next time you receive a snap on Snapchat, just\u00a0open the snap and press hold the home button to trigger Now on Tap<\/strong>. Then, hit the\u00a0share button<\/strong>\u00a0on the left to share the screenshot.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Step 3:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Then, select \u201cUpload to Photos<\/strong>\u201d to upload the snap to Google Photos. That\u2019s it, the picture will be saved and the sender won\u2019t get any notification of the screenshot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
