Snapchat: save history - does it work?
Snapchat only temporarily provides you with pictures and text messages. This practical tip will tell you whether you can save the history.
Save Snapchat history with additional app
Unfortunately, you cannot save the history or the text messages, images and video with your chat partners using an internal Snapchat function - and if not unnoticed. Additional apps can help you save pictures and videos:
- Update: The following apps are currently not online and can therefore not be used. In another practical tip, however, we will show you how you can back up Snapchat's pictures and videos forever on Android and iOS.
- With the free iOS app "Snapkeep for Snapchat" and Android app "ChatDrive" you can save incoming pictures and videos completely free of charge and ad-free. A simple interface will help you with this. In addition, according to the developer, your chat partner should not notice any of this.
- For iPhone users there is also the free "SnapSpy for Snapchat" app, which not only allows you to save incoming pictures and videos unnoticed, but also saves your friends' stories and edits pictures before you send them out.
- You can also save your friends' stories on your smartphone using the "SaveMySnaps" app for Android. In addition, you can have the snaps you receive saved in the correct Snapchat app before opening them.
- If you want to save a text history, you currently have to (still) do this via screenshot - both under iOS and Android.
Tip: If you no longer like your name, we will show you in the next practical tip how you can change the user name in Snapchat.
