This wikiHow teaches you how to recognize when somebody saves a message you've sent them in a Snapchat conversation. Saving a message is different than when someone screenshots your snap .

Things You Should Know

  • Someone saving your message is different than someone screenshotting your message.
  • Open the conversation in Snapchat and look for a message with a grey background.
  • Grey backgrounds indicate that someone has saved your message.

  3. Doing so opens a chat window with that contact.
    • This should be a contact from whom you have no unread messages.
    • You can search for a specific contact by typing their name into the Search bar at the top of this screen.
  4. Doing this will scroll up through your chat history with your selected contact.
    • If neither you nor your contact have saved any chat messages, you won't be able to scroll up.
  5. If you see a message with a grey background, it has been saved by either you or your contact. Messages you save will have a vertical red bar to the left of them, while messages saved by friends have a blue bar next to them.
    • You can save a chat message by tapping and holding it.

  • Question
    If I saved messages, will the same ones appear as saved on my Snapchat for the other person?
    Community Answer
    Yes, if you save it, the other person will see it as saved too - and vice versa. There really isn't a way to avoid this.
