4 Ways to Take Snapchat Screenshots Without Notification
Taking a screenshot on Snapchat without the other person knowing can be a delicate matter. Snapchat's default feature is to notify the sender when someone takes a screenshot of their snap. However, there are ways to bypass this feature and take a screenshot without sending a notification. Here are four ways to do so:
1. Take a Picture from Another Phone
The easiest way to take a screenshot on Snapchat without notifying the user is by using another phone to take a picture. Here's how:
- Open the snap you want to capture on your phone.
- Take another phone and open its back camera.
- Use the second phone's camera to take a picture of the screen displaying the Snap.
2. Take a Screenshot with Google Assistant
Another easy way to take a screenshot on Snapchat without sending a notification is by using Google Assistant to take a screenshot for you. Here's how:
- Open Snapchat and ensure the snap you want to capture is fully loaded in the app. Don't open it yet.
- Hold down the home button or say "Hey Google" to launch Google Assistant.
- Clearly say, "Take a screenshot." Google Assistant will take a screenshot of whatever is on your screen, including the snap.
- After the screenshot is taken, Google Assistant will show sharing options. Choose to save the screenshot to your device.
Note: This method is only possible for Android users.
3. Take a Screenshot by Screen Recording
You can take a screenshot on Snapchat without a notification by using a screen recording application. Here's how:
- Install a screen recording app on your phone.
- Start recording before you open the snap.
- Open the snap and let the recording capture it.
- Stop the recording and save the video.
- Extract the desired screenshot from the video.
4. Put Your Phone on Airplane Mode
You can take a screenshot on Snapchat without notification by putting your phone in airplane mode. Make sure to load the snap beforehand, and then put your phone in airplane mode and take a screenshot.
Remember to be considerate and mindful when taking screenshots on Snapchat, as some pictures are meant for certain people only, and distributing pictures (especially risky ones) to unintended people without the original poster's permission may land you in trouble.
