How to Save Snapchat Videos?

Interestingly, Snapchat does not have a direct way to share or send pictures and videos. Snapchat introduced a creative form of communication where snaps sent to people will disappear instantly whereas stories will delete after 24 hrs. So the question in demand is how you can save Snapchat videos and picture and keep it for a long time.

With constant updates throughout the year, Snapchat has added much more options. Though the primary feature of Snapchat promoting privacy was what attracted users in the first place, it was also troublesome if you were looking to save your memories. Now, you can keep your chats for 24 hours and also save Snapchat videos and pictures.

There is an easy way to directly save your own snaps but it can get tricky especially for new users to figure out ways to save Snapchat videos and pictures of others. Therefore, in this article, we will talk about effective ways to save your as well as other videos on Snapchat.

A detailed description of both methods is given ahead in the article. Make sure you have Snapchat installed on your android and IOS device.

Save Individual Videos Before Posting

The snaps you send to your friend will not be saved automatically which means you cannot extract them once it has been sent. However, you can save your videos before posting your story or sending in your memories as well as your phone’s gallery. You can follow the steps below to save individual videos before posting:

1. Open Snapchat.

2. Record a video by pressing the record icon.

3. Click on the ‘Save‘ icon.

Once the picture is saved you can either send the snaps as normal or close by clicking on the ‘x‘ icon.

The video you select will be exported to your mobile device. This way you can easily save Snapchat videos to either your memories or your device.

But if you want all your snaps to be saved to your gallery, going through snaps individually will be a tough task.

How to Save Snapchat Videos From Your Story?

5. Click on the triple-dot icon and choose ‘Export or Send Snap‘.

6. Scroll and press the save icon.

You can go to your device gallery to check whether your Snapchat videos have been saved or not.

How to Save Snapchat Videos Sent to You?

When someone sends you snaps, they need to set the timer with no expiration for you to have permission to save the videos. Before sending the snap they need to change the timer to infinity. This will let you view the videos on a loop and also give you access to save the video. Here’s the full process of how you can save Snapchat videos sent to you:

1. Go to the chat box and press to open the snap.

2. Click on the triple-dot icon and choose ‘Save in Chat‘.

Now go to the chat and proceed with the steps as:

3. Hold the video and select ‘Save to Camera Roll‘.

Hence, you can save Snapchat videos if the user has allowed loop views. Additionally, there will be certain notifications alerting users that you have saved their snaps. However, if the time limit is set to the snap you will not have the option to save it. At such time the only option will be to screen record the videos using the in-app recording for android or IOS. You can also use a third-party application for this.

The main thing to note here is that recording someone’s private videos without consulting with them first could lead to serious legal consequences. Thus, we encourage you to not indulge in illegal recordings unless you have the approval of the user.

However, with the latest updates, Snapchat has quickly fixed this bug so there are no longer ways to save Snapchat videos secretly.
