How to take a Snapchat Screenshot without Notification

So, we have to explore other Snapchat screenshot hack in order to complete the process. So, here we listed some of the most effective methods to print Snapchat screen without the Snapchat screenshot notification.

Using Quicktime

For the iOS users, here is a good news. As of now, there is a working trick which needs a little preparation on your side. Assuming that you have the Quicktime installed on your Mac and a certified lightning cable, you may follow this method.

1. Connect your iPhone with the Mac using lightning cable
2. Open Quicktime player
3. Go to File > New Movie Recording in the menu bar
4. Now, the recording screen will show up. Hover your mouse near the Record button, and a small arrow-like icon will show up.
5. Click on the arrow and select an option which says something like Select iPhone as your Camera.
6. Your iPhone screen will be shown on the Mac.
7. Click the record button to start recording the Snapchat app.
8. Once the video is ready, you can take screenshots from that. The user will not be notified at all.

Using Third-Party Apps

There are several applications available on the Android and iOS store which allows capturing the Snapchat app. To be honest, many of them will not work, but few of them does the job. To name few working applications (from our tests), Sneakaboo for iOS and Casper are some good Snapchat screenshot apps.

Using Google Now to Capture Snapchat Screen

For the Android Snapchat users, they can use the Google Now on Tap function to take Snapchat screenshots. For this feature to work, your smartphone should be running on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow or later and you should enable the feature. You can enable it by navigating to Settings > Google > Search & Now > Now on Tap.

1. Open the Snapchat and press and hold the home button to trigger Now on Tap.
2. Now, tap the share button on the left side to share the Snapchat screenshot.
3. Select Upload to Photos option. It will upload the snap to Google Photos.
4. Your Snapchat snap will be saved to the Google Photos which you can access anytime.

Take Picture using Another Device

This might sound like a funny method. But in reality, it is the most effective and easiest way to capture the Snapchat app. If you have a high-quality camera or a good smartphone, you could seamlessly capture the image of the application and save them as a screenshot. In some cameras, the screen pixels may be visible. But if you own a really good camera, you will be able to fetch a nice screenshot of the Snapchat. No complications, no difficulties, really a simple Snapchat hack.

Another Snapchat Screenshot Hack

This is a very tricky method to obtain Snapchat screenshots on your smartphone. For this method to work, make sure that Snapchat’s Travel Mode is not enabled. Also, it will not work if the phone’s battery saving mode is turned on. So, always make sure to turn off both of them for this method to work. Otherwise, you may not end up in getting a screenshot of the Snapchat messenger app.

1. You usually get a notification when a new snap is received on the app. The thing that you have to make sure is to don’t open the app instantly. You have to wait a few seconds for the app to load the snap in the background. This is the most tricky part of this hack. So, always make sure to give enough time for the snap to load in the background.
2. Now, turn off the Wifi and Mobile data connections in order to block the internet.
3. You want to be quick here. Open Snapchat and quickly take a screenshot of the snap by pressing the shortcut keys (Power+Volume Down in Android.) Now you got the screenshot.
4. Close Snapchat
5. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Snapchat > Storage and then tap on Clear Cache button.
6. Turn on the internet connection, and you will see no messages saying “You/Friend took a screenshot” which usually displays when the screenshot in taken. So, you have successfully bypassed the Snapchat screenshot notification.

Beware

You are not only the person who can take a screenshot on Snapchat. So, when video chatting with your friends or while sharing something with strangers, beware of them. They may capture the snaps like you are planning to do. Does Snapchat notify screenshots on chat? Yes, it will. But, as you can see above, there are several methods to prevent this notification. So, it is better to be cautious.
