Follow this simple guide to learn how to save your Snaps.
Want to preserve the videos you create on Snapchat? You can modify the default settings so that Snaps automatically save to your Memories or Camera Roll. If you wish to save videos from other users, just long-press them in the chat. To do this discreetly, you’ll need to use a different device. Here’s a guide to saving Snapchat videos on iPhone, iPad, or Android.
Quick Steps
- Head to your Snapchat profile.
- Click the settings icon.
- Tap on Memories.
- Press the Save Button.
- Choose Memories & Camera Roll.
Steps
Launch Snapchat. The app will open directly to the camera if you're logged in.
- To manually save your Snaps, click the down-arrow icon on the edit screen of your Snap. Use this option if you want your Snaps to be automatically saved to your Memories and/or Camera Roll.
Click on your profile icon in the top-left corner. This will bring up your profile page.
Click on the settings icon. You’ll find it in the top-right corner of the screen.
Tap on Memories. This option appears beneath the My Account section.
Click on Save Button. It’s located under the Save Destinations section.
Choose Memories & Camera Roll. If you prefer just one option, select either Memories or Camera Roll.
- From now on, any Snap you create will automatically save to this destination.
Launch Snapchat. The app will open directly to the camera if you're logged in.
- Remember, you can only save video Snaps that are set to Loop.
Go to a chat. Tap the Chat tab and select an open conversation to view the messages inside.
Press and hold the Snap. A menu will pop up on your screen.
Choose Save in Chat. Alternatively, swipe up on the Snap to access this option.
Saving Snaps Without Notifications
Use a different device to record or capture a screenshot. This is the safest method for saving a Snapchat video, but you'll need an additional device. Make sure it’s ready to record when you open the Snap.
Enable Airplane Mode. This technique involves turning on Airplane Mode before watching the Snap, then disabling it once you’re done. You can attempt to record during this time.
- Note that this method carries some risk, as a notification might still be sent.
Try half-swiping. This trick is meant for Snapchat chats. If there are messages after the video, you might get a hint of what the video contains.
