How to Screenshot Snaps in Android without Notifications?

Speaking of Snapchat, the first thing comes to your mind must be that no matter what snaps you sent out - ugly, saucy, sexy, sarcasm, fool or other inappropriate photos, they will disappear in 24 hours. It seems that you can’t keep those snaps trending on Snapchat, but actually you can take screenshots of the pictures you want to download to your mobile phone. However, whenever you screenshot someone’s snaps, the sender will be notified by Snapchat. This post will show you how to screenshot snaps without being detected by the sender.

This is a tricky and lesser-known way:

Step 1. Simply load up Snapchat, go to the snap you want to open and make sure it loads completely (you can tell a snap is loading if the icon beside a name isn't a solid square, but more like a little swirl).

Step 2. Turn off your WiFi, your Bluetooth, mobile data and anything else that keeps your phone connected, but toggle on Airplane Mode. This can usually be done via the Notification window on Android devices.

Step 3. Take a screenshot of the snap you prefer to save on your mobile phone.

Step 4. Now exit the app and close it, making sure the app is not running in the background. For further ensuring the closure of Snapchat, you’d better power off your Android phone and restart it.

Step 5. Turn off Airplane mode and reopen your Snapchat.

With all the steps, you can save others' snaps on your Android phone without them knowing. You should take care of the screenshots in case of loss due to some uncertain reasons. If you happen to encounter such bad situation, no fret, you can use Gihosoft Android data recovery tool to retrieve them from your cell phone.
