How to screenshot Snapchat without them knowing [ Guide ]

How to screenshot Snapchat without them knowing? Coding world of Snapchat : Are you someone who loves to keep a record of chats and photos of other people? Do you love to re-read the conversation with your favourite people?

Well, Snapchat is known as the best multimedia app for sharing moments and chatting, etc. But everything has got a loophole like you cannot have access to the snaps again once you view it or replay it will vanish.

It is complicated isn’t it and especially if it seems like your girlfriend. Simple on the out and tricky on the inside. Just like Snapchat symbols and icons and the whole Snapchat itself. If you understand them well and good, easy peasy!

If not well confusions begin!

Snapchat notifies you of everything, it’s like a crazy girlfriend who doesn’t stop pinging and sometimes you get irritated if you can’t understand her. Well, I can’t explain her to you but I can make you understand the Snapchat symbols.

Let’s talk about the Snapchat Friend emoji first

Gold heart 💛 – This indicates that you have sent the most snaps back and forth with the person and have chatted the most with them. You are my #1 best friends.
Red Heart ❤️ – This shows that you’re #1 best friends for two weeks.
Pink heart 💕 – This depicts that you’re #1 best friend for two months.
Grimacing face 😬 It just shows that you don’t talk but just send snaps back and forth.
Smiling face 😊 This shows that you are best friend but not #1 best friend and this can be in front of up to 8 people you share messages and snap to.
Sunglass Face 😎 This indicates that you have a friend in common so it shares a best friend with you.
Fire 🔥- This depicts the no. Of snap streak. You have sent snaps back and forth consecutively and if someone doesn’t it breaks and starts afresh again.
Hourglass ⏳- It tells you that your snap streak is going to break it asks you to send a snap ASAP.

Go to your snapchat and have a glance at who is your best friend and who is your common friend. Which emoji is allotted to whom.

Snapchat has got various colours and icons each having a specific function. These colour-coded icons tell the status of the message without opening them.

Airplane mode – A Frugal innovation!

Innovations are creations! Whether it is a frugal one or an excellent one. So as you know India is the best known for frugality this is another innovative idea. So you can take a screenshot on your phone while your Airplane mode is on and it won’t tell the person.

Open your Snapchat when your data connection is ON and wait for some time to let your snap or chat load.
Then turn ON your Airplane mode and again wait for some time.
Then if you have a miui phone swipe your three fingers upside down to take a screenshot. Easy peasy! If not there then have a glance at your control panel the option is there.
Then remove your snap chat running in the background to remove the data.
Then relax and turn Off the Airplane mode.
You can smile now the screenshot is taken without pinging them that you have taken a screenshot of a chat/Snap.

Shoot it on Another phone!

With the help of another device, you can capture it. This is the easiest way to get the desired screenshot and of course, nobody will know that you have done it.

You can also screen the mirror on your Android to TV and then record the video or capture the picture.

Google Assistant – your PA
