Yes, you can take a screenshot on Snapchat. However, the usual way will notify the person who owns the Snap that you’ve taken a screenshot, so if you don’t want this to happen, you’ll need to use a workaround. To do this, go into airplane mode/offline, so the screenshot isn’t notified to the Snap’s owner. Both methods for taking a screenshot on Snapchat are explained in the article above.

Take the screenshot you want to send, then edit it if you want to make changes. To send the screenshot, select it (it will have been imported into Snapchat the same as your usual Snaps), then tap the blue arrow to continue. Choose the person you want to send it to, then tap on the blue arrow and they’ll receive your screenshot.

It means that someone who was viewing your Snap has taken a screenshot of it, probably because they wanted a permanent reminder of it.

You can use QuickTime player to capture a Snap on Snapchat but you’ll need to connect your iPhone to a computer first. Then, choose File => New Movie Recording. Choose the iPhone as the Movie Recording input. Once your computer screen shows your phone screen, you’re ready to open Snapchat and record the Snaps you wish to save. This will not send the Snap owner a notification.

Question

Do I have to log out of my account because I forgot my password?

Community Answer

Yes, or else it will say you screenshotted. If you simply forgot your password, put in a real email address in your account settings, and select 'Forgot password' while trying to log in.

Question

If I use the new feature that allows me to send other people's photos by holding the screen, does it notify the owner of the photo?

Community Answer

I don't think it does. However, the friend must be friend with the owner to see the photo you are sending him.
