3 Simple Ways to Save Snapchat Videos You Sent or Received

Saving Your Videos

Open Snapchat. The app will open to the camera if you're logged in. You can manually save your Snaps by tapping the down-arrow icon on the edit screen of your Snap. Use this method if you want your Snaps to automatically save to your Memories and/or Camera Roll.

Tap your profile icon in the top-left corner. This will open your profile.

Tap the cog icon. You can find this in the top-right corner.

Tap Memories. This will be under the My Account header.

Tap Save Button. You can find this under Save Destinations.

Select Memories & Camera Roll. If you'd rather have one or the other, select Memories or Camera Roll. Now, when you create a Snap, it will automatically be saved to this destination.

Saving Videos in Chat

Open Snapchat. The app will open to the camera if you're logged in. Keep in mind you can only save video Snaps set to Loop.

Navigate to a chat. Tap the Chat tab and tap an open Chat to view its contents.

Tap and hold the Snap. A pop-up menu will open.

Select Save in Chat. You can also swipe up on the Snap to find this option.

Saving Snaps Without Notifications

Use another device to record or take a picture. This is the safest way to save a Snapchat video, but you'll need another device. Have the device ready to record when you open the Snap.

Use Airplane Mode. This method involves turning on Airplane Mode before viewing the Snap, and then turning it off again when you're finished. While viewing it, you can try to record. Keep in mind that this method is risky, and a notification may still be sent.

Try half-swiping. This method is intended for chat messages in Snapchat. If the recipient sent messages after the video, you may be able to guess what the video includes.
