How to Take Screenshots on Snapchat Without any Notification or Alerts: 3 Best Ways

Snapchat is an app for millennials that can be used on iPhone or Android to exchange messages and stories. The main feature that made Snapchat so popular is that every chat disappears in 24 hours by default or instantly after closure if you change this in the settings.

Teenagers immediately started using this app for their private communication without their parents getting notified, but in return, different methods were invented to share listings without them knowing. One of them is to take a screenshot, and although Snapchat notifies the readers when it happens – there are some ways to trick it.

Does Snapchat Notify When You Screenshot a Story?

The short answer would be yes, it does notify creators when people take screenshots of the Snapchat story they posted. The longer answer, however, requires some explanation.

There are two types of Snapchat stories:

  • Public: Such stories are intended to be seen by lots of users, and there are no privacy limitations. If someone takes a screenshot, you will be notified about the action itself, but it is shared without any information on the person who took it. So, you will only know that someone has taken a screenshot.
  • Private: Stories created by private accounts are only available to the chosen groups of people. Snapchat notifies the account owner if someone takes a screenshot of their story and even shows who has taken it. Thus, you will always know who tries to break your privacy.

As you can see, nothing can be screenshotted on Snapchat without the sender being notified. However, we all know human ingenuity has no limits, so some ways to outflank these limitations were found.

How to Screenshot Snapchat Story Without Them Knowing?

You can take a screenshot of a Snapchat story without notifying the device owner by using some third-party tools and applications.

Use a Monitoring App Like uMobix

uMobix is a phone spy with a vast feature list that allows people to get access almost to everything happening on the target device. It requires manual installation for Android and can be installed on iOS via iCloud.

This app provides access to Snapchat messages and stories not notifying other Snapchat users, and in addition to this, it provides many other useful features, for instance:

  • location tracking;
  • access to Facebook and Instagram;
  • keylogger;
  • browsing history tracking;
  • access to the photo or video content;
  • call logs and message tracking.

These are only some features uMobix provides, and all the tracked information is sent to the online dashboard. Now, to the most interesting part: how do you take a screenshot on Snapchat without notifying anyone using uMobix?

The idea is that the tool takes a screenshot of a photo, Snap, or story and sends it to the dashboard – no screenshot notification is sent to anybody. Pay attention to the fact that the Snapchat tracker is available for Android only. You can also use this feature in the same way for all other applications and social media.

Take a Screenshot Using Google Assistant on Android

If you need to take a screenshot on Snapchat secretly but do not want to bother with the phone tracker installation, use your Google Assistant. Well, obviously, this method is not for you if you are an Apple lover. So, how does this method work?

Snapchat reacts when you use a specific combination of buttons to take a screenshot. Google Assistant can help you with this task by not pressing anything, and here is how.

  1. Open the Snap, chat, or story you want to capture.
  2. Hold the Home button on your device to call the Google Assistant. When activated, ask it to take a screenshot.
  3. This screenshot is saved to your device automatically, and you get several sharing options on the screen.

We highlight it again: if you take a screenshot of Snapchat story or message with the help of Google Assistant – the person who posted or sent it does not get any notifications!

Use Another Phone to Take a Picture

The easiest way to take a picture of something on Snapchat without notifying anyone is to use another device with a camera.

  1. Open Snapchat on your phone and find what you want to take a screenshot of.
  2. Take a picture of your phone screen with another phone.

Many users also refer to this feature as screen recording, although it is not completely true. Many phones have it built-in, but whenever you use a screen recording app on the device where you have Snapchat open, the other Snapchat user will see an alert.

How to See Who Screenshotted Your Snapchat Story?

First of all, we need to inform you that if someone has taken a screenshot of a Snap using one of the methods we described in this article – there is no way you can check who they are. However, if a person just presses the required buttons on their phone, not trying to hide, you receive a notification – it is pretty simple.

  1. Launch the Snapchat app on your device.
  2. Tap one of your posted stories on the top left.
  3. At the bottom, there will be a tiny screenshot icon.
  4. Tap on it and check who screenshotted your Snapchat story.

Remember, however, that it would only work for private accounts. If your page is set to be public, Snapchat will only notify you if someone takes a screenshot or launches a screen recording but will not provide any additional information.
