Once your iPhone is completely disconnected from the internet, open the snap in question, take your screenshot, then swipe its thumbnail off-screen or let it disappear automatically to save it. Your first step is still to turn on Airplane Mode, making sure that both Wi-Fi and cellular are disabled. In recent years, the app has gotten much smarter, but there's still a way to take advantage of the trick. Years ago, Airplane Mode immediately tripped up Snapchat, preventing a screenshot or recording notification from being sent back. However, they'll get a notification as soon as you get back online. If your iPhone suddenly loses an internet connection when you take a screenshot, then Snapchat isn't able to relay that back to the sender immediately. Method 1: Airplane Mode + Passcode Screen Don't Miss: Tips for Using Your iPhone's Screenshot Tool.Turning Airplane Mode on, taking a screenshot of the snap, then turning off Airplane Mode used to work, too. Outdated methods included taking a screenshot or video with QuickTime on a Mac, using third-party apps such as Snapkeep, jailbreaking to utilize tweaks such as Snapchat Log, and even just taking a regular screenshot. Taking screenshots of snaps undetected has a long history. Snapchat has improved its screenshot detection abilities over the years, so it's much harder to circumvent its technology for truly undetected screenshots - but not impossible.

Snapchat doesn't prevent you from taking screenshots of snaps received, but the other user will get an alert either as a prominent push notification or a subtle note in the app.
