Does Snapchat still notify people when you screenshot? Trying to save a snap without them knowing.

Want to screenshot a snap someone sent but I don't want them to get that notification. Does Snapchat still tell people when you screenshot, and is there any way around it?

Yes, Snapchat still notifies the sender when you screenshot a snap, a chat, or a story, and screen recordings too. There's no official way to turn that off. The old airplane-mode trick has mostly been patched and is unreliable now, because Snapchat syncs the screenshot flag the moment you reconnect. The genuinely safe way to keep a snap is to photograph the screen with a second device, which Snapchat can't detect. Anything app-based claiming to hide screenshots is a ban risk.

It notifies for screenshots, screen recordings, and even saving a chat. The airplane-mode trick is a coin flip now, Snapchat catches it when you go back online more often than not.

Second-phone-photo is the only reliable no-notify method. Every 'anonymous screenshot' app is a scam or a ban risk, not worth it.
