This is how you can easily screenshot on Snapchat without leaving a trace

Without a doubt, one of things Snapchat users love most about the app is its self-destructing function.

Images can be sent with the user safe in the knowledge that they will expire after being seen once.

For as long as the app has existed, people have tried to discover ways of preserving the messages they have been sent before they permanently vanish.

Although it may have seemed impossible, it now appears there is a way…

Whereas screengrabs will usually result in a notification being sent to the sender, according to The Sun, this method allows you to screengrab all you like without ever being detected.

Here’s how:

Step 1 – Open Snapchat so the message is visible in your inbox, and then put your phone onto flight mode without leaving the app.

Step 2 – With the message still unopened, your device will now be disconnected.

Step 3 – Take a screenshot. In fact, take as many as you wish.

Step 4 – Close the app.

Step 5 – Deactivate flight mode.
